Famm

You shouldn’t have to hide who you are to succeed. Yet, 46% of LGBTQ+ professionals say they conceal part of their identity at work. The problem isn’t who you are. It’s an archaic work culture that says you need to check that part of yourself at the door before you come to work to make other people feel comfortable. And you deserve better. That’s why we created Famm Connect, a space where the queer community can: ?? Hire, collaborate, and support each other ?? Discover events and queer-owned businesses ?? Connect in a way that feels safe, intentional, and authentic In a world that often asks us to shrink ourselves, we’re building a space where you can show up loud and proud in community. Whether you’re looking to grow your business, find new opportunities, or just be with people who get you, Famm Connect is here for you.
