SCRIBEONHIGH is a Black trans led cultural strategy think tank working for cultural justice, cultural preservation, and the enrichment of life-affirming cultural practices. Through our consultation and collaborative work, we develop tools, conduct research studies, hone artistic practices, and develop new artistic processes. Built on a healing justice framework, SCRIBEONHIGH uses these tools to grow more self-determined and resilient individuals and collectives.

Narratives shape life paths: reshaping harmful narratives everywhere they show up is key to reshaping our world.

Cultural work, art, and organizing are life affirming, creating space for life where it wasn’t possible otherwise.

Art, story, and culture are world-making tools that we can use to shape ourselves and the world around us.

Narratives structure the culture we live in. They create knowledge, politics, legislation, policy, architectures, worlds, and life paths. They influence our relationship to the world and ourselves, defining what can and cannot exist.

Our identities are shaped by narrative. Reshaping our relationship to these narratives is a gateway to reshaping the world.

Identity is a practice. Identity is not impermeable. What we know about ourselves now may not be the same in the future. Crisis, rupture, and adaptation are necessary parts of life.

Building regenerative systems requires space for regenerative and freeing identities, play, joy, and creativity.

Everything's gotta give: for a cultural shift toward regenerative systems, systems of harm need to be upended entirely.

Community safety and systems of care outside of systems of harm are necessary for collective survival.

Harnessing our collective creativity will build regenerative cultural change.
