Mission Statement/Overview:
The Collective focuses on everyday people to share the stories of those who do work for our communities and inspire love, connection, and empowerment. It is about those who bring us together to care for the impoverished, those with disabilities, immigrants, disadvantaged youth, and the planet. It is a space for conversation and an exchange of ideas with those who work to spread communal love in a collective effort to bring us all together as One.
We are all apart of the collective. It is not a special group or community out of anyone’s reach. The trees, the earth, the plants, the insects, the animals, and humans are all apart of the collective. We each have something to give to the world and our communities around us. It’s in knowing how to care for the ones we love, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. It is all self-care. Community care is self-care. And together we are more than community, we are like the stars singing in the sky. We are music and our voices are the hum of the universe. Because we are of the earth and things of stars, and so is every thing on this earth.
