More about Questionmark
Questionmark (QM) started in January '22 with the goal to create a space for anonymous stories, opinions, and the realities that shape us.
QM wants readers to realise that every shady queen, every boring colleague, their parent and every single person they have ever met has at least one story that significantly shaped the people they are today.
QM wants to create a culture of sharing what makes us sad or happy, what hurts or uplifts us. QM is part of the movement where everyone is encouraged to talk out more creating a world where we all communicate better, understand deeper, encourage more and judge less.
Some highlights
- 400+ subscribers that read and share their stories
- Helped several couples explore the format of an open relationship
- Helped an amazing guy from Lebanon connect with readers from Europe and seek asylum in France when his HIV status got revealed at his job.
- Helped a reader come out by sharing his story with friends and family
