Fund Hottiecon: Celebrate Diverse Voices in Nerd Culture

Hello! My name is Brianna, aka Thee Anime Guru, and I’m the founder of The Women of the Soul Society (WOSS), a community dedicated to empowering women of color and non-binary individuals who love anime, manga, and nerd culture. Our mission is to build inclusive spaces where we can celebrate our passions and support one another in a welcoming environment.

Today, I’m reaching out because we need your help. We’re in the crucial stages of planning our first major event, Hottiecon, an anime convention designed to showcase and uplift the voices of women of color and non-binary creators. This event is more than just a convention; it's a vital step toward creating a permanent, inclusive community space where we can gather, create, and connect year-round.

Despite our enthusiasm and solid plans, we’re facing significant challenges in securing traditional funding. Our hope is that by rallying support from our community, we can demonstrate the strong backing we have, which will make a compelling case to potential investors. Your support will help cover essential costs such as venue rentals, marketing, event production, and merchandise. It will also pave the way for us to create a permanent brick-and-mortar space for ongoing events and community-building activities.

By contributing to our campaign, you’re not just helping fund an event; you’re investing in a vision for a future where diverse voices are celebrated and empowered in the nerd culture community. Your support will show investors that there’s a vibrant and dedicated community behind this initiative, helping us turn our dreams into a reality.

Thank you for your support and belief in our mission. Together, we can make Hottiecon a success and build a brighter, more inclusive future!
