Our Purpose
Through the Eyes of One was created by The Power of One to create a place where people and communities can come together in safety, dignity, and belonging. Grounded in lived experience, culture, and shared values, we support connection across differences knowing care grows from community itself.
This is a space where you can arrive as you are - without needing to explain or prove anything - and find connection that respects identity, choice, and mutual support. Together, we build relationships that strengthen resilience, deepen understanding, and honor the power that already lives within our communities.
Our Goals
This journal is a space where every voice, every perspective, and every form of creative expression is embraced with open arms. Whether you have a tale to share or a vision for collective action, as long as it emanates from a place of authenticity and compassion, it has a home here.
Strengthen the power of our community
by honoring those of us who have been overlooked or disregarded, recognizing that our lived experiences and the identities we carry with pride are our greatest strengths. Together, we are building a space where our voices are no longer ignored, but are the very foundation of our shared influence.
Provide safe and welcoming space for conversation, growth, and empowerment
for visionary leaders and allies seeking to shift the narrative of what social change means and how we can make it happen sustainably and interdependently.
Expand the power
of simple human kindness
in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. We invite each other to look inward and discover how we can each make a difference in a world that is changing so fast. At a time when the news can feel overwhelming, we are building a space where hope isn't just a word, but something we create together.
Our Community Agreement
To ensure this remains a sanctuary for growth and reclaimed power,
we ask all members to join us in these commitments:
-
Honor the Journey: Recognize that everyone is navigating their own "rugged terrain" and deserves grace.
-
Speak with Dignity: Avoid labels that overlook the person.
-
Protect the Space: Keep the stories shared here private and safe.
-
Lead Together: We are a community of peers, not a hierarchy of power.
All comments and posts are reviewed to make sure they align with our community commitments.
We reserve the right not to admit posts that do not honor the dignity and safety of our members.
