About Us:

Under Your Wing is an organization aimed at investing in the futures of artists, founded by Amanda Mimie Tayte-Tait. It was started as a campaign on social media platforms such as Wattpad, with the aim of spreading awareness and support for different campaigns. It quickly grew into a magazine called TSZ (The Safe Zone), talking about and tackling multiple issues which are only whispered about or swept under the rug because of shame. The first few issues included topics such as 'The truth about the lgbt community in Africa', 'Personal accounts from Suicide Survivors' and 'Learning to be beautiful in your own skin.'

Art has been used as a healing aid for centuries but with the declining economy very little to nothing has been done to aid the Arts field. And as a company; our main aim is to help financially and socially support youth interested in undertaking careers in the Arts Industry - Including but not limited to music, theater, dance, writing and film. We will achieve this through various income generating projects whose profits will be used to assist young artists in gaining the education relevant to their specific artistic careers and providing them with the social and financial support they need to grow and achieve their goals.

The website works as a social media platform that runs under a monthly theme. Each month the website joins with a corresponding campaign or organization that supports a particular awareness project eg: MSF and UNICEF.

Each month a group of writers is assigned topics under the particular awareness project that are posted under the website and then an arts contests is held. The contests will be arts based and supported by the campaign, eg: photography that shows support for a mental illness project or a story depicting life after suicide. Each month a winner will be chosen and they will win funding, scholastic support to further their studies or arts project or a chance to be featured on our website and be a part of the change.

The under your wing website will also run a forum and chat where users are able to log in as either ventors or listeners offering each other advice and support. This site is a safe space for anyone dealing with any issues that are usually greeted with a lot of stigma.
