The Flaunt It Movement is a grassroots youth-led organization that fosters self-love and highly-esteemed representation for womxn* through creative, community-based projects.
Womxn = “(Coined by intersectional feminists) An alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n and m-e-n, and to be inclusive of trans and nonbinary women) (Dictionary.com).” Flaunt It uses women and womxn interchangeably, as our work is not limited to females. It is for cisgender, transgender, femme, non-binary, gender-non-conforming, and any feminine/women-identifying folk.
"To inspire all womxn to love themselves unconditionally & with the capacity to hold space plus show up for other womxn."
—OUR VISION STATEMENT
Flaunt It uses artistic activism & community building strategies to foster, empower, & inspire young womxn to confidently create social change.
Our work prioritizes supporting womxn from underserved communities as we help provide the resources and opportunities for them to excel as artists, activists, entrepreneurs, and overall, leaders.
Flaunt It is investing in the next generation of young womxn who will amplify future generations of more womxn.
Artistic activism empowers us to address the barriers that impact young womxn from excelling or leading in their fields of passion with pride and confidence. The organization connects womxn to the necessary resources or opportunities to support their endeavours.
With design thinking and an intersectional feminist framework, the pillars of Flaunt It supports the organization with the:
CREATIONS of inclusive campaigns and collections of art
CELEBRATIONS of all kinds of womxn of all intersectional identities
CONNECTIONS & COMMUNITY as we help womxn show up and hold space for one another
CONFIDENCE-BUILDING (/CAPACITY) to invest in womxn's excellence and leadership
"We believe that empowerment starts with teaching womxn the importance of loving themselves, wholeheartedly."
