Caitlin Donohue is a culture writer. Raised in San Francisco and Portland, Oregon,
she worked as a labor union organizer before beginning her journalism career at the
rabble-rousing alternative weekly newspaper San Francisco Bay Guardian. She is a
regular contributor to High Times and Remezcla, and her work has been published by
McSweeney’s, Fact, Bandcamp, Advocate, them., 48 Hills, SFMoMA’s Open Space, and
other fine and relevant publications.
Her greatest hits include a pre-#MeToo exposé of a chauvinist San Francisco
progressive blogger, a piece on Mexico City’s LGBTQ Central American refugees, the
first English language profile of Puerto Rican Latin trap artist Bad Bunny, a history
of reggaeton in Veracruz, interviews with feminist thought leader Rebecca Solnit,
seminal rapper Fat Joe, and Brazilian drag queen pop star Pabllo Vittar, plus a
guide to having herpes for Tavi Gevinson’s online teen magazine, Rookie. Caitlin has
lived on four continents. For the past five years, Mexico City has been her home. She
considers the megapolis to be the heartbeat of the Western Hemisphere, and it is the
birthplace of her cat Kiara.

Briana Arrington is a Philadelphia-born-and-based illustrator and graphic designer.
She obtained her BFA from the Maryland Institute and College of Art in 2017.
Briana’s work includes pieces of her identity as she is a firm believer in the fact that
representation matters. She is always hoping that her work reaches someone who
may look like her, see the world like her, or has gone through similar experiences.
When her hand is not attached to creating, she is either aggressively playing
volleyball with a city league or having a good cry or hearty laugh to a movie
marathon. Briana is also an amateur food connoisseur. Philadelphia is a diverse table
of foods, and she intends to try as much as her stomach can handle in and out of her
own kitchen. Briana is joyful and loves to laugh. It is the best medicine, after all.
