About BYOBeing
Bring Your Own Being​
More than a commitment, more than a slogan, and more than a catchphrase, being your own being is not just a lifestyle, it's a human right. At BYOB, we believe that everyone has a right to live well and feel connected to others, regardless of which immutable or intimidating factors may exist in each individual's lives. To that end, we humbly ask that you bring your entire being, flaws and all, to this space if our mission, vision, and values align with yours.
Mission
BYObeing is dedicated to dismantling stigma and fostering a supportive community for individuals living with chronic conditions, with special emphasis on those facing the most stigmatized health challenges. Our mission is to offer a space grounded in decorum, precision, and transparency, empowering every person to feel seen, supported, and encouraged to share their journey.
Vision
BYOB envisions a future where stigma surrounding chronic conditions and mental health is a thing of the past. BYOB contributors work actively to contribute to a world in which human flaws and challenges are widely discussed with compassion and in which chronic conditions and mental health experiences are met with knowledge and awareness. BYOB embraces the core values of decorum, precision, and transparency in our pursuit of a stigma-free and more compassionate future.
