🎶 “If at first, you don’t succeed… dust ya self off and try again”~ 🎼

Reflecting on what a beautiful gathering the Culture Community Circle at the was. Over 100+ registered and the attendance was packed! Thank you all for coming to open these much-needed conversations 🙏🏽

When we set out to make ‘A Compass in Complexity,’ ultimately we were a group of young people and friends that were frustrated at the challenges in our community and wanted to use the arts to both heal and put solutions forward. But we had momentum, but not much direction.. disoriented by what was happening, we eventually broke down. We apologize to those who were in that tough process with us.

In the aftermath of the first attempt at making this magazine, the following four directions emerged as a guiding light for what we’re trying to make this time around. These were deep and meaningful starting places, and many amazing conversations emerged at the gathering with these.

We’re curious how to deepen these convos and invite more people (and creativity) into these ideas, and have a plan to share out ways to do that soon. More to come! 🧭

We’re stoked that is putting on a q***r pop-up event featuring drag queens, music, art and a ton of vendors! 🌈
