The Gathering

A Vibrant Tapestry of Voices

A constellation of independent creators, each steward of their own universe, united in amplifying marginalized voices. Here, grief transforms into cookies and poetry, where Nathan's verses dance with Sarah's raw reckonings of loss and survival. Trans poets pen open letters to churches that rejected them, while Miranda's classical iambic beats pulse through pain toward defiance. Lisa's porch hosts bedtime stories and writing prompts where fiction meets friendship. OnyxRose whispers that softness itself is resistance—fiction, photography, and verse braided into LGBTQIA+ armor. Jynx's acoustic emo folk springs from vocal cords declared dead, singing through transition's wreckage for five children watching their mother rebuild. Every voice here earned its resonance through living, losing, and refusing silence. These aren't just stories—they're survival maps, love letters, battle cries, revolutions.
