/sləm/

A SLUM is a derogatory term for a highly populated urban residential area consisting of densely packed housing units of weak build quality and often associated with poverty.

Slum culture isn’t just struggle it’s survival, creativity, and community born out of nothing. It’s the rawest form of human expression, where people build something from what they have and still find pride in the things they’ve made. Showing this side of life gives people perspective on what’s real, what’s ignored, and what resilience actually looks like.
