Our team at Listen wants to hear it!

We’re always looking for new ways to engage with our community, and we want YOU to be a part of it. We believe in reclaiming our own stories and understand the inherent value of hearing from people with lived experience.

If you have an idea you've been wanting to share, now's the time!

HAVE A STORY TO TELL?

OUR VALUES

  • At Listen we believe in reclaiming our own stories and understand the inherent value of hearing from people with lived experience.

  • We want to empower people to engage in nuanced discussion, destigmatise curiosity and have true freedom of expression.

  • Much of today’s media is focused on trends, celebrity and portraying an image that does not equate to reality. This strips people of their innate creativity and discourages genuine collaboration. We want to create a space where vulnerability and truth are seen as strength.

through submissions, curated editorials, investigative pieces, a coffee club and events we hope to create a community of creative people who feel empowered to be seen and shine as their authentic selves
"A space to be heard" our purpose is to provide a safe and welcoming space for underrepresented communities to come together and share their unique experiences through a variety of creative mediums.
Welcome to Listen Journal, your space to be heard 🤎
