About
In early April 2020, Edie Kahula Pereira created something she loves, a “space where people can interact and connect.” One simple Saturday 10:30 a.m. (PST) Zoom invite for a “coffee catch up” with twenty-plus women, many of whom were strangers, turned into a ritual weekly gathering. We not only shared our voices while in isolation, but over time, we caught glimpses of each other’s lives every week: Some of us tended our homes, cooked breakfast, knitted sweaters, while others worked in their studios—printing letterpress, making pottery—and some even tuned in from the road. Above all, we listened as the voices of twenty-two women became distinct and familiar. We shared of ourselves: how to stay healthy, how to find courage, how to cope with anxieties about society’s ills and the ongoing pandemic. Together, we embraced a common kinship, and found solace and laughter amidst the uncertainty. Thirty-three (and counting) calls later, we’ve revealed more and grown softer with one another, yet stronger as a group. The bond has led to a collection of creative works offered in the form of a book that reflects our contemplations, imaginations, and lives during this unprecedented period in time.

Notes from Now, for Tomorrow
In mid-May 2020, the women of Saturday Morning decided to make something together and we swiftly designated a small cohort of editors and a designer to steer the ship. A few days later, editor Steffie Nelson summoned us with two prompts: “What do you want to take with you from this time, into the future? What would you like to offer from this time, to the future? Responses can take any form that can be reproduced on a page: a story, a series of photographs, a painting, a poem, a recipe, etc.” Inspired by the idea of quarantine as a time for creative output, these creative markings, thoughts, and contributions became the inaugural project of Saturday Morning, Notes from Now, for Tomorrow.
