💚💚💚Our recent zine is all about Cannabis! Putting it together made me reflect on everything I've been through and all the ways in which I've grown...⁠BIG LOVE and solidarity to everyone going through it. 💚💚💚 ⁠

In a society that benefits from our self doubt, exhaustion and division, it's a radical act to keep on feeling love for ourselves and our communities. Most times we don't realise the growth so it's important to take time to acknowledge it and all that you're going through.⁠
