In this issue of Buffalo Zine we explore the definition of motherhood ― unconditional love, primal instinct, joy, worry, selflessness, community, learning, growth and much more ― revealing unknown stories about anonymous mothers. Maternal presence and absence, alternative mother figures and chosen families. Mothers as our personal heroes or antagonists. Moms always know better, right? But not always. We also uncover the struggles and hardships in everybody’s relationship with their mothers. This issue revolves around the mother as a cardinal and central figure in our vital experience.
