Malcriada’s MIssion

Hello everybody,

Welcome to my side of the internet, thank you so much for being here. I’m Zadria Knives, artist, writer, and podcast host. I decided to create this blog as a follow up to my creative debut, the Malcriada Podcast. I wanted to claim a space in the world for my thoughts and aspirations. But most of all, to connect with others through all this chaos. For in a sick world like ours, community is the remedy. In this blog, I’ll be covering topics of healing, reconnecting, organizing, and creating. If this resonates with you, feel free to stay for the ride.

See you on the other side.

All love,

Zadria Knives

What is a Malcriada?

Malcriada translates to “badly raised girl” or “bad girl.” This word chased me around the tile floors of my childhood. It is mostly used to shame misbehaving children, but too often used to shame young girls & femmes into abiding by hurtful social constructs. I decided to reclaim this word by making it a part of my creative journey.

Malcriada | The Persona

A shapeshifting, succubus with ghoulish, lilac skin…my online presence might give you a fright at first glance, but underneath the horns, lies a very big heart. Well, hearts, she has three of them.
