Zina's BuqalahMoms' Night Out: Art that Makes a DifferenceJackie Fawn has always been drawing and at one point couldn't stop herself from drawing during her lunch breaks. Today, you can see her art all over Turtle Island... from street murals to café walls and t-shirts and across many indigenous-led frontline struggles.
For me, this indigenous and Filipina (Yurok, Wasiw and Suriganonon) baddie is one of the most important visual artists of this generation. Jackie’s illustrative work is recognizable by her depictions of strong indigenous femme warriors protecting the land, water, and people. As a first time mom, she is in the process of finding balan...

She drops so many gems in this one. It's both a healing session and a call to WORK. Get cozy with your favorite notebook and get ready to take notes, because this o...

Zina's BuqalahWhat is a Buqalah?Pronounced "Zeena's Boo-kaa-laa". A buqalah is a clay water pitcher used to tell the future, and the poem that is recited during the ritual. It's an ancient tradition held down by aunties, grandmas, and elders across Algeria today. The poems were recited in darija, an Algerian Arabic vernacular that remains a mystery to most foreigners. This has allowed my people to protect themselves against foreign occupation and colonization. Tune in to hear more about why I chose this name for a podcast, follow on IG @zinas.buqalah, and keep an eye out for upcoming episodes.

Zina's BuqalahOctober 17th: A Duty to MemoryI launched the Instagram page for this podcast on October 17th because I wanted to share a piece of our history that has been intentionally silenced and hidden from view.
October 17th, 2021 marked the 60-year anniversary of a massacre committed by the French state. Although it happened in plain sight, the story of this day is rarely portrayed in mainstream news, films, books, or even included in our public school curriculum. It it etched in our hearts and carved in our people’s memory, as a reminder that France’s hands are still dripping with the blood of A...
