A Soft Woman with a Machete (with Zulynette)

In this episode, we welcome poet, performer, and writer Zulynette to discuss her journey writing and performing poetry and how rage, love, and resistance shape her work. She talks about writing and performance as community practice through workshops, curated prompts, and her storytelling space focused on grief, transformation, and healing for people of the global majority and queer people. We discuss Zulynette’s books, including her latest book, Becoming a Soft Woman with a Machete.00:00 Welcome and Reconnect01:17 Poetry Origins and Open Mics04:35 Rage and Liberation Themes07:01 Workshops and Storytelling Show09:46 Death Grief and War Machine12:37 Staying Grounded in Love15:20 Upcoming Events and Hosting16:21 Soft Woman With a Machete20:04 Advice for Community Impact22:11 Where to Follow and FarewellZulynette’s BooksBecoming a Soft Woman with a MacheteBuilding a PowerhouseI Can See in the DarkOther Books MentionedFalling Back in Love With Being Human: Letters to Lost Souls by Kai Cheng ThomWhere to find ZulynetteZulynette.comInstagramThank you for being part of the Liberation is Lit podcast!
