- Self-Defined
- A modern dictionary about us. We define our words, but they don't define us. -
-
- - - Self-Defined seeks to provide more inclusive, holistic, and fluid definitions to reflect the the diverse perspectives of the modern world. -
-- With the foundation of vocabulary, we can begin to understand lived experiences of people different than us. Words can provide us with a sense of identify and allow us to find kinship through common experiences. -
