Live Storytelling

On November 4, 2023, during the storytelling event hosted by the Nocturnists and the Bellevue Literary Review, Zed went on the stage of the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre in New York City to tell the story of her thieving mother. Well, the story of an ice cream for her thieving mother, to be exact. And so, so much more.

This story was made into a viral comic strip by the amazing artist and social justice advocate Pan Cooke, which has received over 500,000 likes on Instagram. Pan and Zed have since begun collaborating on a graphic memoir project, My Mother Was a Thief (tentative title). You can get a sneak peek of it in Zed’s newsletter.
