Share your story.
The Phoenix Forum is a creative outlet for people to share their lives through stories, poems, art and other creative mediums. We believe in connection and community through human experiences. Many of us understand experiences of joy, pain, sorrow, and hope. Yet, we do not often create space to vulnerably share these experiences in effort to engage in collective healing. This space is meant for any human being who wants to be empowered to rise.
