Founded in May of 2023, Loudly Inclusive Media Collective is building a central hub of resources for independent artists who need funding, knowledge, or other resources to focus on their true passion for making art full-time.
OUR VISION:
A world that celebrates the full spectrum of creative expression.
OUR MISSION:
To amplify the voices of independent artists from marginalized communities through paid collaboration opportunities and a network of mutual aid.
THE 3 PILLARS OF OUR COMMON CAUSE
IMPACT
Creating and sharing PAID collaboration opportunities NOW for as many independent artists as possible. While also building long-term, equitable change in creative industries driven by the voices and needs of artists.
CONNECTION
Connecting audiences with creatives they can feel good about supporting. Connecting artists with a network of peers and a central hub of mutual aid resources to build skills, knowledge, and supportive communities.
JOY
Infusing creative work with the joy of authentic self-expression. Sharing the joy of diverse audiences seeing their lived experiences represented in music and media.
THE SOLUTION?
Give the power back to artists and amplify their voices. Expand opportunities for independent artists to make a living doing what they love. Leverage the influence of creative people building communities that want to make a difference in the world.
WHY LOUDLY INCLUSIVE?
In 2022, a Trans Rights Advocate from Lincoln, NE named Milo Winslow posted a video calling for “safe spaces” to be not just inclusive but to be LOUDLY INCLUSIVE.
We chose "Loudly Inclusive” as the name of our media collective to honor Milo’s memory and to remind us why we started this project in the first place. Being LOUD means being visible for those that need a safe space while deterring those that intend harm from ever testing our resolve.
“Y’all, can we normalize making inclusive spaces so LOUDLY INCLUSIVE that bigots don’t feel safe inside of them?” -Milo
WHAT IS A MEDIA COLLECTIVE?
It's a group of artists, producers, and supporters who work together to promote the creative endeavors of every member of the collective through shared resources, promotional efforts, advocacy, and collaborative projects. The Music, film and content creation industries are changing quickly. We need a holistic approach to growth and success for the future.
Loudly Inclusive will gather funds and other resources to distribute to a network of artists that fans can feel good about supporting. We will hold each other accountable so we can grow and celebrate together.
