Maroon Community

Purpose

Society has taught creatives that the only choices that we have are what’s presented to us. If we create something, there is ambivalence and push back. This space is here to acknowledge that we can tap into choice and imagination.

Community

This is a sanctuary BIPOC writing community. How we tell stories aren’t always accepted in mainstream spaces. Here you will be nourished in psychological immunity.

Writers

Redefine & recreate the craft of writing. We are here to cultivate spaces that will enable us to locate the authenticity of our voices within rooms of creative wellness. We want our goals to align with what we want to offer the world.

Our values

  • Resistance to being mentally broken down in creative spaces.
  • Not waiting for the perfect time.
  • We must nourish each other with what we have to offer.
  • Writing for community beyond monetization.
  • There is merit beyond the western publishing canon.
  • Uphold the value of taking up space.
  • Developing new languages around your writing practice.
