Description: Members of Proud Colors, Columbia University's queer and trans- students of color organization, contribute reflections, poems, and art to this annual compilation zine. The 2018 mega-zine opens with a statement of purpose foregrounding the values of the collective and the meaningful work of its members. The entries come from people who identify as queer and trans people of color and focus on intersecting identities, sex and sexuality, racism, and homophobia/transphobia in society and on campus. The pages that follow spotlight member profiles where each participant elaborates on the utility and meaning of Proud Colors as a space for queer and trans people of color at Columbia who reside in the intersections of multiple interacting apparatus of power by virtue of their overlapping and interlocking marginalized identities. Creative writing, poetry, and visual art displays authored, created, and curated by the members of the collective. The cover is sky blue with a color photograph of a member wearing sunglasses looking upward with their hands scrunched in a soft fist. The zine is printed on magazine paper. Each issue contains photographs, social media links, a table of contents, the organization's original statement of purpose, and its current mission statement.
