Rich Guttieriz CONTRIBUTING WRITER A mixed brown boy, a self proclaimed writer and artist born and raised in San Jose, California. Within the last couple years, I have started writing again, self-releasing four zines of personal writings called 'boy seeking pain'. I am a strong supporter of using art and writing as structure to heal and unlearn; most of my "work" is centered around acknowledging fears and strengths and the importance of both. Acknowledging the true beauty and duality of Black and Brown folks by reinforcing the importance of documenting our own histories regardless of how sad, hurtful, loving or strong. We will create and continue to create in the face of misfortune.
