Love Me, Love My Belly no. 2
Love Me, Love My Belly is an annual print zine dedicated to the acceptance of self and imperfection as beauty. It’s about the space between us, our differences, our scars, our wobbly bits, and our power as it relates to the bodies we live in.

Additional Info
EXCERPT from "Love Me Anyway" by Minadora Macheret
Settle into my skin,
show of nature gone awry,
make-believe the parts are working.
There will be days
anger currents keep me upright
as anxiety locks me to the bed
and the safari of my skin
full of brush
stains the covers fluorescent-red
the Nile is deep and endless
as the mechanism syncs
to the monthly flood-watch.
And on the mornings
I am barren
for a day more than I can handle,
please love me, anyway,
