 Nick Allan | Clothing Enthusiast and Student

The idea of collecting clothing and shoes can be extremely daunting. My page has a strong community focus because of its emphasis on fun and easy to interpret education. I try to include information and insight on what I’m purchasing so that anyone can understand it. Shoes and clothes are the same, I try to discuss quality and construction of items as well as their history in a brief and fun manor to make sure any audience can enjoy and gain something. With that said my direct messages are open for anyone who has questions about clothes or for a quick conversation. I will always do my best to answer or help! Read more>>

Achieving Milestones Pediatric therapy is a collaborative therapy practice that provides services for children with developmental or special needs. We are dedicated to providing accessible and comprehensive care to individuals with a wide range of developmental, cognitive, and physical disabilities. Our clinic offers various therapeutic interventions, including speech therapy, feeding therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual.

This support fosters resilience, reduces stress levels, and improves overall family well-being, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout the community. We often act as advocates for individuals with special needs, both within the community and on a larger scale. Our goal is to raise awareness about the unique challenges faced by these individuals, promote the importance of early intervention and therapy, and advocate for policy changes that improve access to essential services. By actively engaging with the community, we encourage empathy, understanding, and acceptance, fostering a more inclusive and compassionate society. Read more>>

Margaret Beaver | Author & Activist

I would like to think that I have made, or am capable of creating, a social impact; political and social wellbeing is one of my most integral aspirations when writing. I can very sufficiently represent myself through my key interests: mental health awareness, advocacy, and solutions, and also accentuating any minority or oppressed communities across my nation, such as the LGBTQIA+ community, which I am a part of. I very much like to comment on the intersection between having a non-normalized identity and its potential impact on one’s mental health: existing within an oppressed, misunderstood, and underrepresented community very much induces emotional and psychological pressures, and the process of self-actualization, while it should be a wonderful growth, can actually be very disintegrating when you realize the scale of bigotry your newly-acquired community may face.
