Their vision was to share stories of struggle, compassion and triumph through creative expressions such as art, music and dance. In these initial discussions the idea of culture hubs came about. The group chose the word "Vox", which is the Latin word for "Voice", because they wanted to be a voice for those unheard and to advocate for the marginalized. "Vox" initiatives have now been started in Sacramento, Los Angeles, England, South America, & more are emerging. It's becoming a global effort.
