DEF - Diamond Empowerment Fund is an online and mobile community dedicated to empowering self-expression and transforming creativity into action by sharing digital media - video, audio, photography, words, and visual art. DEF - Diamond Empowerment Fund believes in the freedom of expression and the sanctity of diversity, but we also honor our collective planetary obligation. By harnessing all that creative energy, we can both energize our communities and preserve this perfect planet. And with responsibility comes protocol:

DEF - Diamond Empowerment Fund insists that all members remain free to express themselves in a postive manner.
DEF - Diamond Empowerment Fund pledges to weed out untoward discrimination and prejudice, so everyone feels part of an equal-opportunity community.

That said, please take a moment to read our etiquette policy.
