 Research Post 13 — From Research to Community: Funding the Vision 💛

Every big project begins with an idea, but ideas also need support.

Sometimes bold, truth-telling projects do not easily fit into traditional funding systems. When a project challenges mainstream thinking, raises questions about history, women’s autonomy, or Indigenous rights, it may require a more direct path.

Community funding platforms such as GoFundMe offer a different kind of support.

Instead of writing for institutions, the creator speaks directly to people.

Supporters become part of the journey. They help fund research, writing, illustrations, translations, community workshops, and public art.

More importantly, they become witnesses to the story.

This project is not only a book. It is a community conversation about healing, history, and respect.
