Pride Month: A Celebration of Love, Identity, & Self-Expression

"When you put love out in the world it travels, and it can touch people and reach people in ways that we never even expected." - Laverne Cox

Pride Month gives us the opportunity to celebrate love, identity, and liberation while commemorating the ongoing struggle for justice and equal rights. It is a time to recognize and honor the LGBTQIA+ community and their contributions to society. How can you celebrate love and self-expression this month? Promote diversity and inclusion in your workplace, partner with LGBTQIA+ organizations, sponsoring or participating in local Pride events, educating ourselves, creating products that reflect a range of identities and lifestyles, and fostering company cultures that value and respect individuality. 

 
 

Do the work

This week, I commit to having open and honest conversations with colleagues, friends, and family about identity, acceptance, and inclusion.

 

Spread the word
