OUR MISSION.

This is a site to give the minorities of our community a voice to share their ups, downs, and in-between. All posts are anonymous and give women, minorities, and the LGBTQIA+ a safe space to voice their experiences and opinions that they may not have.

We accept the work of allies as well.
