Who We Are

Changing Trends and Times is a digital platform dedicated to elevating the stories, struggles, and triumphs of underserved, marginalized, and LGBTQ+ communities. We exist to challenge narratives, spark dialogue, and create space for voices too often pushed to the margins.

Founded by Charles Zackary King, a legacy‑driven storyteller and community advocate, this platform blends commentary, culture, lived experience, and truth‑telling into a space where readers can learn, reflect, and grow.

Our Mission

To inform, empower, and inspire change by:

  • Highlighting issues affecting marginalized communities
  • Amplifying voices that deserve to be heard
  • Encouraging honest, respectful dialogue
  • Providing resources, stories, and perspectives that foster understanding

Our Values

  • Authenticity: Real stories. Real people. Real impact.
  • Equity: Centering those who have been historically overlooked.
  • Community: Building bridges, not barriers.
  • Courage: Speaking truth even when it’s uncomfortable.
  • Legacy: Preserving stories that shape our collective future.
