LGBTIQA+ Pride Month is a month in June dedicated to celebration and commemoration of the Queer Community. Pride Month began after the Stonewall Riots, a series of gay liberation protests in 1969. It both honours the movement for LGBTIQA rights and celebrates the diverse culture.
I’m honoured to be part of Impact Drivers team, where Diversity is at.
As a Trans woman, this type of environment plays a huge role in my life, impacting positively on how I view the world, there’s zero discrimination and 100% celebratory attitude towards queer diversity. I believe pride month should be a reminder that Diversity is what makes us powerful and unique as the human race, let’s take this moment to celebrate those who came before us and paved the way for Authentic Inclusion in the society.
Happy International Pride Month!
