Description

The mission of Akin is to provide a productive space to foster open, honest communication and understanding. We believe every individual has unique perspectives and experiences that make them special, and that those experiences can help enrich the lives of others. We also believe that despite our differences, we are all “akin” due to our innate human nature and equality. With these two beliefs in mind, we aim to create a space that celebrates and encourages these differences, while also stressing an understanding of others.
