R&Babes x NTU Student Support

The RnBabes Collection is a collection on 3 zines focusing on 3 different mental illnesses. We feel as if there is a massive gap when it comes to help with mental illnesses for people of colour, especially women. We want our zines to help women on how to seek help and teach them how to love themselves and feel beautiful in their own skin so we created lyrical zines for Black female students highlighting Mental Health problems that directly affect them, while offering sisterhood discussions; bridging the gap between Black students and NTU's Student Support Services. Through our own personal struggles and experiences, we want to share our stories and want people to know that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. Our first 3 zines were based off of female R&B artists who have struggled with mental health issues themselves. Co- creator: Nokukhanya Mareka Illustrator: Travis Ngoshi
