SPECTRUM QUEER MEDIA: MISSION FOCUSED

• Founded in 2009 by Monica Anderson (also known and embraced as “Kin Folkz”), SPECTRUM Queer Media’s mission as a community engagement and media advocacy group is to empower LGBTQIA communities by: acknowledging and celebrating authentic LGBTQIA visions, voices and viewpoints AND by creating inclusive and collaborative projects that support sustainable LGBTQIA community stakeholding.

SPECTRUM Queer Media’s projects include curated community building conversations, interactive community gatherings, exhibits and workshops that respect diversity, build interdependence and promote human rights.

SPECTRUM Queer Media is community based, community driven and community volunteer supported.  SPECTRUM Queer Media - led by a group of community shareholders - believes that a community imbued with gratitude and accountability practice is central to the promotion of wellness, evolved thoughts and healthy actions.

SPECTRUM Queer Media collaborates with local, national and international organizations, media makers, artists and individuals that advocate for and support a shared mission of LGBTQIA uplift through empowerment. SPECTRUM Queer Media believes that "the context that restores community is one of possibility, generosity, and gifts, rather than one of problem solving, fear, and retribution."
