“I like to do cool shit with my hands and my heart. I thrive on creating connection—bringing people together, shifting narratives, and building spaces where truth can live out loud.”

In Spite of Myself, 2nd Edition Zine
by Jasmine Gabrielle Washington
Limited Edition of 50 — All Signed Collector’s Copies
Grace found in the scraps of thought I almost threw away.
In Spite of Myself is a hand-crafted artist zine and intimate companion to Jasmine Gabrielle Washington’s in-progress exploration of grief, surrender, resistance, and transformation. Composed of fragments of writing, relief prints, and self-portraiture, the work honors what survives in process—the slow, stubborn act of becoming whole again.
Each copy is signed, numbered, and self-published by the artist. Printed in full color on premium stock, this second edition continues the story of restoration through making, memory, and grace.
