Ramdasha Bikceem began writing zines and playing in punk bands when she was 15 years old while living in the throes of a Wasp New Jersey suburban wasteland. She was inspired by punk feminist zines of the late '80s and early '90s. Currently she lives in Los Angeles where she attends a cosmetology program, runs an online vintage clothing business & throws a monthly queer party with friends. She periodically writes criticism and observations on social media and often gets a lot of "likes."
