ABOUT US

We started as an e-magazine called Thrive+ in 2015 with the vision of creating a global community. A community of members who feed off the energy of one another; a community which celebrates diversity; one that is based on the pillars of courage, pride, non-judgment...and love. We are now a youth volunteers based project on the theme 'Gender and Sexuality'. Each life has the potential to inspire change. Voice+ is a forum to share your stories, ideas and messages to inspire youth from around the world. Apart from sharing stories, interviews and fashion blogs, we aim to bring about behavioural change through offline events and the campaigns we run on our social media.

INTRODUCTION

The Potential To Thrive- Despite Differences

​"We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts, to nurture, to offer, to accept… In so many ways, we are the same. Our differences are unique treasures." - Mattie J.T. Stepanek

When my son, Mattie, was born with a rare and life-shortening disability, I was advised, “Do not bond with him,” and instead, “allow the disease to run its course” without life-extending intervention. I was also warned that if he survived, even for a brief while, he would probably never walk, talk, think, or in general – “be like” – other children and people.
