tomorrow, local comics creator Jerel Dye leads a zine-making workshop! Young participants will be guided through the process of creating a zine to express their own revolutionary ideas. Today’s challenges often include people feeling unheard, and this workshop aims to provide participants with the opportunity to put their ideas on paper and share them through a zine.
