Important News: This week, many of us are feeling devastated, uncertain, and in need of safe spaces where we can connect and find support. That’s one of the many reasons we’re grateful to be building Famm Connect — a mobile app designed for LGBTQ+ professionals and business owners to come together, support one another, and grow in a space that truly values and uplifts each of us. Now, more than ever, this work feels so important. On December 11th, we’re hosting a virtual event to celebrate the launch of our mobile app, and we’re deeply honored and humbled to announce that Blair Imani, creator of the viral web series, Smarter In Seconds, will be moderating the Famm Connect Launch Party panel discussion. As an author, educator, content creator, and powerful advocate for intersectional activism, Blair has inspired and empowered so many people from around the world. We couldn’t imagine anyone more suited to lead a meaningful conversation on what it means to be queer in professional spaces and how we can continue to push these boundaries. The Famm Connect Launch Party is a free virtual event featuring an inspiring panel discussion, exclusive giveaways, and the chance to connect with incredible LGBTQ+ leaders. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about the Famm Connect mobile app, where you will be able to: - Network with other LGBTQ+ professionals and business owners - Build meaningful partnerships - Discover and support queer-owned businesses - Find a mentor or offer mentorship - Explore new career opportunities - Connect openly in a safe space - Be celebrated as your authentic self In challenging times, community becomes our strength.

Did you know that 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, and 50% don’t make it to year five? For LGBTQ+ owned businesses, the odds are even more difficult—facing challenges like discrimination, limited funding, and flagged marketing content. With an anti-LGBTQ+ administration taking office in January, now is the time to shop with intention and support our community. This holiday season and beyond, let’s: - Support LGBTQ+ owned businesses by making purchases directly from them. ?? - Follow, share, and engage with their content. ?? Even if you can’t spend, spreading the word with others, including allies, makes a difference. Together, we can create real impact. Visit HeyFamm.com to discover over 600 LGBTQ+ owned brands & products, including home essentials, apparel, beauty products, kids' items, and more. ??
