It's Pride Month y'all! Sun out, rainbows up, work to do. Here are a few ways to learn, celebrate, and make a positive impact this Pride season. Geared to my Whatcom County community and applicable more broadly wherever you are.
1: Support LGBTQ+ businesses. Use and 's directories to find local LGBTQ+ owned businesses. Follow 's 100 Days of Trans Solidarity campaign, lifting up trans-led businesses and orgs.
2: Invest in learning for your team. Across industries, leadership and management need practical development that grows their competencies vis-a-vis LGBTQ+ employees, clients, and customers. Message me to explore how I can help. This work can be fun and impactful.
3: Read q***r books. Visit or for Pride book recs. Shop from our friends at and check out their q***r joy and liberation book list.
4: Elevate q***r and trans joy. Host an educational, celebratory event in your faith community or workplace. Lunch & learns are a simple way to bring folks together. Bring the fam to the July Pride celebrations in B'ham and Ferndale. Everyone can benefit from spaces that center love, belonging, and being yourself.
5: Pay attention to policy. Follow to understand anti-LGBTQ initiatives on the ballot this November. How are these initiatives and national attacks on LGBTQ+ rights impacting your customers, clients, and employees? How are you adjusting client services and employee supports given rising threats to LGBTQ+ people?
6: Reach OUT. Pride invites action. Let's work together. I help businesses and nonprofits develop knowledge, skills, and structures that allow all employees and clients to thrive.
