Suport Buddies

[ OVERVIEW ]

Support buddies are the friends who show up when someone is trying something new or personal—like an art exhibition, a theatrical play, a class workshop, or a talk—so they feel backed rather than alone. This page notes moments when KNB people have been “the friend in the room,” standing beside others’ projects, hobbies, and experiments as they share them with the community.
