Creating With Pride: A Heartfelt Thank You & What’s Next
As June comes to a close, so does The Kindred Creativity Club’s first-ever event — Creating With Pride.
First and foremost, a huge THANK YOU to everyone who made it possible — from the authors whose books we featured, to the guest post contributors, and to those who re-shared content, donated to our Stonewall fundraiser, or simply followed along and supported us throughout the month.
Your encouragement means the world — not just to me, but to everyone who felt seen, heard, and uplifted through this event.
🎁 Fundraiser & Raffle Extension
To give us more time to raise funds for Stonewall, I’ve decided to extend the Tiltify raffle until August 31st, 2025!
If you donate £1 / $1 or more, you’ll be entered into a giveaway with six exciting prizes, including:
- A £/$20 Amazon Gift Card

📚 Past Event Access
The Creating With Pride page will remain accessible on The Kindred Creativity Club website, under the “Past Events” archive — so you can revisit the incredible creatives and guest posts anytime.
🌟 What’s Next?
In July, we’re shifting the spotlight to a community close to our hearts: The Write Here, Write Now Community, founded by Karen Sanders Editing.
The Kindred Creativity Club truly wouldn’t exist without the support of Karen and the WH,WN crew — and next month, I’ll share exactly why that’s the case.
Expect:
- Interviews with Karen and the WH,WN admins (plus one with me!)
- Community testimonials
- Reflective blog posts about what WH,WN does and why it matters
I hope you’ll join us as we celebrate this beautiful community.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Creating With Pride such a powerful, joyful event.
Until next time — stay creative, stay kind, stay you.
T.T.F.N.
