Neta Bomani is a Tanzanian-Malawian zinester based in Brooklyn, New York, U.S.

On January 28th 2021, as part of a grad school class called 100 Days of Making, Bomani began making one zine every day and documenting each one on a dedicated Twitter thread.

The first zine in the series focused on jazz pianist and composer Mary Lou Williams, while her last zine (published on May 8th, 2021) was a "storybook for children and adults" focusing on computational history and technology, called Dark Matter Objects: Technologies of Capture and Things That Can’t Be Held.
