‘AND This’ was born out of a desire to celebrate our complexities, our multi-dimensional selves that refuse to be boxed in. It’s a shout-out to all the dreamers who juggle multiple passions, who wear many hats, and who refuse to be defined by a single label. This platform is more than just a space, it’s a community. A community where we can embrace our diverse interests, where we can explore different facets of our identities, and where we can inspire each other to break free from the constraints of ‘niching’ down. I hope to foster a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued for all that you are. A place where your creativity and passions are not just welcomed, but celebrated.
