Tips: We are small and energetic blog. Contributors must have definite perspective on womanhood. Be aware of the nuances that compose the current events affecting women, especially women in the AV. We prefer to present a hyper-local presence on The Broad Perspective. Intelligence and respect is always appreciated with each post. While certain topics may come from a raw mindset, it must be presented in an infotainment manner. We are not an institutional blog, therefore the content must have a commercial value for our readers. Ultimately, The Broad Perspective offers an encouraging and uplifting voice to an under served segment of the AV female demographic. We reach them beyond the traditional mindset.
