Welcome to the unherd forum


“To step away from the herd is not rebellion — it’s revelation.”

At Puya, we celebrate the curious, the conscious, and the courageous — those who question the script, rewrite the rules, and dive deep into the unknown. Whether you’re a lifelong learner, a cultural explorer, a quiet observer, or a passionate writer, this space was built with you in mind.

You’ve already taken the first step.
Away from inherited roles, outdated norms, and the pressure to conform.
Toward something braver, more thoughtful, more you.

Welcome to the UnHERD FORUM by PUYA.
This isn’t just a forum.


It’s a well of insight, a gathering place of voices, and a sanctuary for thinkers, feelers, quiet rebels, cultural seekers, and changemakers.

Read to understand, not just to agree
Write to explore truth, not just to express opinion
Immerse themselves in the cultures, languages, and lived experiences of others
Choose curiosity over certainty
Ask, “What if there’s another way?”

Whether you’re questioning, evolving, healing, creating, or just looking to connect with deeper, more meaningful stories — this is where you belong.

Because some of us don’t want to scroll endlessly —
We want to soak in ideas, challenge perspectives, and hold space for nuance.
Because some of us aren’t here for virality —
We’re here for growth, truth, and quiet transformation.
Because some of us don’t shout to be heard —
We listen, reflect, and still choose to speak up.

Dive into meaningful conversations across identity, culture, creativity, healing, and self-discovery
Find community without the noise
Engage with rich prompts, personal essays, and real-life stories
Read and be read. Write and be heard. Learn and unlearn.
Reflect without performance
Connect with others on journeys of reinvention, purpose, and perspective-shifting

Made for the Curious, the Bold, the Quietly Powerful
“Sometimes healing begins the moment you feel understood.”

Pivoting careers or passions
Deconstructing inherited beliefs
Seeking global perspectives that challenge your worldview
Exploring new definitions of belonging, success, or identity
Or just pausing to ask, “What does all this really mean to me?”

This space is for you.

Real stories, no filters, no pretense
Cultural threads that deepen your global understanding
Weekly writing prompts to help you reflect and share
Live conversations that feel like sitting in a room with kindred spirits
Safe and respectful moderation — to protect honest dialogue, not silence it

Because You’re Not Alone
Redefining who you are — or what matters to you — can be isolating in a world that rewards sameness.


Because Puya means transformation — wild, radical, authentic.
Because we believe in stories that shake things loose and set things free.
Because we’re not here to fit in — we’re here to wake up.

If you’ve ever asked:
“Is anyone else feeling this?”
“Where do I belong if I no longer fit where I came from?”
“Can I say this out loud without being misunderstood?”

Then Puya’s UnHERD Forum is for you.
