Special Thanks This project and the research that furthered this project could not have been possible without so many individuals. I’m especially thankful for my mom and dad for supporting me through this project’s rigorous curation, Julia Oishi and Maddy McHugh for their continous encouragement during late nights and love from the very beginning of the process, Dr. Natalie Nelson-Marsh, my incredible advisor who was understanding, patient, and reassuring throughout all of this project, the absolutely inspiring interview participants of this study, all of my friends who provided kind words as I worked on this, namely, Dorothy Jiang, Meg Bender-Stephanski, Andre Jaiguiri, Margaux Lynch, and Celine Francois, and last but not least, you! Thank you for taking the time to go through this zine of mine. I hope reading and reflecting on the information in here provided you with some knowledge that you will take with you after you close this zine. You are important to me!
