Your Curiosity Will Save You with Cindy Crabb
Episode 23
Cindy Crabb is the author of the long-running feminist autobiographical zine “Doris”.
Cindy Crabb is the author of the long-running feminist autobiographical zine “Doris” and the compilation book “Encyclopedia of Doris”, as well as the editor of the zine and book “Learning Good Consent.” She is a somatic experiencing trauma therapist living in Pittsburgh.
Cindy wrote her zine, DORIS, like she is figuring out the human condition. She makes writing about the simplest and most common things - playing music, childhood, cooking, or sex - resonate with universal understanding. She helps us make sense of more complex things like the satisfaction of doing useful work, natural curiosity, the ability to use logic, gender dynamics, introspection, the need for challenge and change, combating depression, and creating art and literature. She shares and explores the emotions that go along with having an abortion, rape, dealing with the death of family, or sexual harassment in a context that is enlightening and personal, feeling like a close friend opening up to you. What's most impressive though is that she relates these things into every article in her zine seamlessly.
