Our mission is to motivate, support and promote a positive experience while encouraging an artist to hone their talent in the midst of doubt, negativity
and other hindering emotions that may arise.
When I first started writing I would keep my work hidden. I was afraid of what people might say or how might they judge me based on my sexuality. One day a friend was reading my work and persuaded me to post it online and I did. It was a long time before I ever read aloud. I was very nervous; however another voice of encouragement told me that my words needed to be heard. I never forgot the fear that I encountered each time I reached a new level in my artistry. Honestly, even to this day, I still suffer a major case of “stage fright” before I step in front of a microphone. However through that fear, I must press on. Why, you may ask? I must press on because my voice must be heard, as well as YOURS. Do not let fear, doubt, negativity or anything else stop you from expressing your gift. During these times, when you may think your words do not count…they do! Speak up! Don’t be Invisible…Be Visible In You! Let your Voice Be Heard…And WELCOME TO PMYNER.

The Pmyner Poetry Collective is a troupe of same gender loving women dedicated to promoting diversity and acceptance within today’s society. Using spoken word as the medium with which to share their life experiences, they tell of the struggles and triumphs that all of us are faced with each day, tales of pain, of love, of passion and of freedom. With just one listen, you will find what these women have already discovered; on a human level, we are all connected.
