A word from our founder:

‘I chose to start this platform because I feel like our voices aren’t as loud as they could be.

I want to change that.

As a creative, I’m no stranger to the high level of bias that curators can engage in when supposedly ‘representing’ their people but actually pick the ones that’ll boost their following. I want to do better.

Despite my platform being relatively new and therefore smaller, I want to amplify marginalised voices as much as I can and I love going through each submission! I look forward to seeing your work.

Love and liberation as always, Nush.’

Please note: we go through each submission with a lot of care so reply time can vary greatly so please bear with us. Thank you for your patience.
