"Whowhatwhenwherewhy?"
Hi, my name is Devin, I'm a non-binary café manager in San Francisco and the lead on this creative endeavor. The idea for this zine originated with a group of Starbucks partners in San Francisco in 2019, with the contributors expanding to include my best friend and folx with non-corporate cafe experience. I've often struggled with prioritizing my own self-care. I figured it would help me to have a book I could flip through when I'm feeling frazzled, flustered and fried. I also wanted to maximize accessibility. The zine exists both as an Instagram square format and as a DIY zine that you can print at home. Our hope is that others will take the work we've done here and add their own voices to it! Make new versions of your favorite pages! Document lessons you've learned that didn't make it into the 1.0 zine! And most importantly, share! Self-care is a team sport.
