BEFORE YOU SAY "HAPPY WOMEN'S MONTH"... ASK YOURSELF THIS.🩷🤍🧡

Do you celebrate all women?

Or only the women society has decided are worthy?

Because every year we hear beautiful speeches about strength, equality and empowerment. Yet many women are still denied jobs, denied safety, denied healthcare, denied leadership and even denied the right to simply exist as themselves.🩷🤍🧡

For too many Black women, q***r women, transgender women and gender-diverse people in our villages and small towns, recognition is still conditional. Respect is still negotiated. Humanity is still debated.

Women's Month cannot only be about flowers and hashtags.

It must be about breaking the silence. It must be about confronting injustice. It must be about making room for every woman—not just the ones who make society comfortable.🏳️‍🌈📢🏳️‍⚧️

Until every woman is seen... Until every woman is safe... Until every woman belongs...

The work is not finished.

This month, we don't just celebrate women.

We demand that every woman's humanity is recognised.🏳️‍🌈📢🏳️‍⚧️

THEY TOLD US TO STAY QUIET. WE CHOSE TO BUILD A MOVEMENT. ✊🏾🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🥹

Colour Me Foundation was never created because it was easy. It was created because our people deserved better.

Better than silence. Better than being forgotten. Better than believing that because you're Black, q***r and from a rural village or small town, your dreams matter less.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We exist to remind every LGBTQIA+ person that you don't have to leave home to find your worth—you've always had it.❤️🥹

Everything we do is rooted in four values that refuse to be compromised:

🟣Inclusivity – Because everyone deserves to belong.
🎨Creativity – Because our stories deserve to be seen.
✊🏾Resilience – Because we've survived what was meant to break us.
💛Empowerment – Because change begins when communities believe in themselves.

We're not just changing conversations. We're changing what it means to grow up Black, q***r and proud in rural North West.

This is our story. This is our purpose. This is Colour Me Foundation.❤️🥹

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WE MAKE IS THINKING WE CAN "SEE" SOMEONE'S IDENTITY.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️📢📢

Have you ever heard someone say, "You don't look gay," or "She doesn't seem like a le***an"?

Those words may sound harmless, but they remind us how quickly we judge people based on stereotypes instead of simply letting them be themselves.🥹❤️

The truth is, sexual orientation isn't something you can see. It isn't determined by someone's clothes, hairstyle, voice or personality. It's about who a person loves and forms meaningful connections with—not how they choose to express themselves.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

For many LGBTQIA+ people in rural areas and small towns, these assumptions can make everyday life feel unsafe. That's why education matters. The moment we stop trying to fit people into boxes, we create space for everyone to live honestly and without fear.

Respect begins the moment we stop assuming and start listening.🥹❤️

COMMUNITY ISN'T BUILT BY CHANCE. IT'S BUILT WHEN WE SHOW UP FOR EACH OTHER.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

For many LGBTQIA+ people in rural areas and small towns, finding a space where you can laugh freely, dance without fear and simply be yourself is still rare. That's why gatherings like these matter.❤️

They're not just about music or entertainment. They're about creating moments where we see each other, celebrate each other and remind one another that none of us has to walk this journey alone.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Join Colour Me Foundation at The Link Up by Abonki as we celebrate the incredible talent, creativity and resilience that continues to thrive across North West. Every conversation, every connection and every smile helps build the community many of us wished we had growing up.❤️

Because when q***r people come together, we don't just create memories—we create belonging. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

"DIFFERENT" IS NOT THE SAME AS "WRONG." LET THAT SINK IN.💛💜

Imagine growing up with people telling you that your body needs to fit into one of only two boxes. Now imagine discovering that your body naturally doesn't—and instead of being met with understanding, you're met with questions, shame or pressure to change.

For many intersex people, especially in rural areas and small towns, this isn't just a story—it's a lived reality.💛💜

Being intersex isn't an illness, a mistake or a choice. It's one of the many natural ways human beings are born. What hurts isn't being intersex—it's the stigma, the silence and the lack of understanding.

A community becomes stronger when we stop expecting everyone to be the same and start respecting people exactly as they are.💛💜

Understanding saves lives. Respect changes lives. Inclusion transforms communities.
