Today is the day to lift up the voices of female neurodivergents.
To unmask queer creatives and people of colour and to say you are welcome here.
Share your voice!
For yourself, for us and for the people that come after you without representation.
Whether you wish to send in your own creative writing, life story or poem. Or whether you want to be interviewed and viewed or transcribed then there is space for you here. Welcome. If you want to read only, you are welcome here too.

Katz Parsons
Katz is an award-winning autistic leader who’s run enterprise organizations for two Fortune 500s. She’s collaborated on two self-help books. And she’s navigated past her cognitive impairments to speak publicly on digital technologies.
Katz grew up weathering the pitfalls of being born into a socially conservative family. Her journey to nurture her core didn’t start until she was homeless in her late teens.
Others have tried to stifle her voice and reformat her neurodiversity, and her writing reflects on these darker times. But within the shadows there's hope as she ultimately shed toxic expectations.
