“There’s so many chances in your career and there’s so many pivots, the main thing is make sure your mind is open and you learn from them and say, ‘What could I have done differently? Or what did I learn? How can I do better the next time?”- Jennifer Justice featured on CNBC

Lets Celebrate Pride!
Pride month is here! And while that may mean feather boas, dancing in the streets, and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in your life–– it also means listening, being aware, and actively choosing to uplift queer people, even when the water gets hot.
We are existing in a unique time where a stark and alarming duality has formed. We live in a country where a month has been dedicated to showing love and support to the LGBTQ+ community, and at the same time, Florida’s “Don't Say LGBTQ+ Expansion Bill (HB 1069)” has been signed into law the month prior. This year alone, 520 state bills have been introduced that directly attack the rights of this community.
Our choices have meaning. The products we buy, the institutions we support, and the people we hire and uplift have infinite impacts. Lets acknowledge the power of this choice and use it intentionally. Click the link below to learn more about the action you can take.
