OUR AUDIENCE
POLK COUNTY
Our people are creators, disruptors, dreamers, and doers—often overlooked, but never lacking voice. They’re the culture-shapers, the ones building futures from grit and vision. Rise is their platform, their story, their megaphone.
Rise Events are live, immersive experiences that put the spotlight on underrepresented voices and creative expression in all forms. Think of them as a physical extension of Rise Magazine—but louder, more visceral, and deeply community-driven. From spoken word and poetry to hip-hop, live music, and comedy, each event becomes a platform for real voices to be heard and honored—creating space for vulnerability, celebration, and collective connection.
Your story matters here.
Whether it’s a moment of triumph, struggle, creativity, or growth—we want to hear it. Rise exists to amplify real voices from real people. Submit your story and be part of the movement that’s rewriting what representation looks like.
RISE PODCAST
COMING JUNE 2025
Hosted by Kandor & Jon Sierra, The Rise Podcast is the audio extension of Rise Magazine—bringing its pages to life through raw, unfiltered conversations. We dive into identity, creativity, and the stories behind the grind. No fluff. Just truth, culture, and real voices that matter.
More than a logo. Branding with purpose.
We craft identities that speak, stand out, and stick. Whether you’re building from scratch or evolving your presence, Rise creates branding that feels human, looks bold, and moves culture.
