I'm proud to say that we finally have banner that we could call our own! It has been in the making for quite some time and it's finally out now. Would like to firstly give a HUGE shoutout to @ayza for designing this.

A Banner We Can Call Our Own

---

As you can see that we've plastered our tagline right below our hashtag, both to tell others what we are all about, and also to remind ourselves what initiated this in the beginning. I do not want to lose sight of why I started this initiative, why I took ownership of this project. I believe there's a place in Steemit for every hardworking person and it would be a shame for this platform to miss out on any talent of any kind. My language happens to be music so I choose music as a medium and extend the invitation to any music enthusiast out there! It would definitely be my honor if this initiative inspires you to start something similar of your own, one's language which you speak fluently in.

Our Big Brother

---

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank a community that has been like a big brother to us - #steem-cartoon. A huge thanks to founder @sireh who has been seriously throwing his weight behind us. Never would I have thought a community as established as his would spare time and effort to help a community like ours while it's still in its infancy. I'm definitely looking forward to forging a closer partnership in the future, while also finding our own footing in this Steemit world as a community.

A Simple Dedication

Here's a video that I did a week ago with my music mentor - @vincentchin when I got news that our 'big brother' decided to help us out with the banner. A simple yet meaningful tune from the animated cartoon Mulan - "Reflection".

Look at me
I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part
Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart

Who is that girl I see,
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am, though I've tried
When will my reflection show, who I am, inside

How I pray, that a time will come
I can free myself and meet their expectations
On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself
And to make my family proud

They want a docile lamb
No-one knows who I am
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time
When will my reflection show, who I am inside
When will my reflection show, who I am inside
