?? I am queer. And I don’t like Pride Month ???? I’ll be honest — I have complicated feelings about Pride right now. We have an entire month to celebrate our existence thanks to Black and Brown, Queer and Trans people who riot made it possible for us to get our rights — rights that are still being challenged today everywhere in the world. Pride started as a riot, it should be about resistance and community. But instead, I/we need to work so much harder than any other month because this is the only month our voices get tolerated —?and on top of that, corporations use them to make a (huge) profit. ?? It is draining. This is why at Lutalica, I’m not pushing our comms team to make as much noise as we could during Pride Month. We work for the LGBTQ+ community all year round, and I don’t want my colleagues to feel overwhelmed because this is the only time of the year when straight people acknowledge us. ?? We want to keep working for the community, providing free support to non-profits who struggle to raise funds for an inclusive brand or an accessible website. These things are not only important, they are crucial, and I will keep shouting this to whoever will listen. I wish we could have started our crowdfunding earlier than Pride Month. We could have done it later, but July and August are holiday months, in September people have no money post-holiday, and then it’s basically Christmas. So here we are — and honestly, it’s not going as well as we hoped because we’re being drowned out by voices that only speak up in the month of June. But we still need your support. ?? Please watch the video in this post where I explain why this is important. Check out the testimonials we’ve been posting — they are proof that our work is necessary. And then, please reshare and donate to our crowdfunding campaign here ?? https://lnkd.in/ekREhQ3U ? Help us design a brighter future for women and queer communities. #QueerAndProud #LGBTQSupport #PurposeOverProfit #Crowdfunding #InclusiveDesign #CommunitySupport #DesignForChange #HappyPride #PrideMonth I'm curious about what other trans and queer entrepreneurs/professionals think.

Wishing our Montash, Remobi and Trillion communities a very Happy Pride Month. ????? Here are a few ways you can demonstrate your support during Pride Month and beyond: ?? Showcase LGBTQIA+ stories and voices- giving members opportunities to speak for themselves and represent their authentic experiences. ?? Share the ways your company is fighting for inclusivity and equality: such as raising donations for LGBTQIA+ charities, volunteering, equality policies and advocating for legislative change. ?? Empower your employees with resources that educate and celebrate Pride and the wider community. ?? Create and instigate conversations. Understand the issues. Allies are most supportive when they truly understand the issues that affect the LGBTQIA+ community. ?? Partner with LGBTQIA+ organisations or influencers both during Pride Month and throughout the year. Pride should not be exclusive to June but an initiative throughout the year. Make it a year-round commitment & ensure your LGBTQIA+ employees feel valued, supported, and included every step of the way. ?? #PrideMonth #HappyPride #LGBTQ #Community

Is this a little late to post for Trans Day of Visibility back in March? Maybe. But it’s not too late for Pride Month! ????? In honor of celebrating the LGBTQ+ community this month, I wanted to share this powerful piece of work I got a chance to be apart of for MAC Cosmetics! MAC has been a longtime supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, donating millions of dollars to support equality, providing gender-affirming care through beauty services and products, and being a safe space for queer individuals to explore and express themselves. To help MAC announce their newest VIVA GLAM grantee and partner, The Trevor Project, we created this beautiful video that highlighted the role makeup plays in self-discovery and identity expression. ??Career Learning: I served as the Director of Scripts on and off set, where I helped craft the conversation to feel informative, authentic, and inspirational. It was important that the narrative not only checked the legal and marketing boxes, but that it ultimately centered trans joy rather than struggle. I learned that to tell an authentic story, you have to leave room for the talent or subject to actually tell theirs and not over-produce it. ??LGBTQ+ Ally Learning: As an ally, I try to constantly listen and learn to best support the community. To be honest, it got difficult on set at times. Emotions were high as we covered difficult self-discovery moments and discussed overcoming very hard and very real obstacles. I learned that even when there’s a job to do, humanity comes first. Give space for your talent to feel and process as they’re telling their story. A few extra breaks and words of encouragement can go a long way. Super grateful for this experience and proud to have been apart of a team that values good storytelling, good production, and good causes ???? (Shoutout to the MAC Mustache crew who I won’t tag for the sake of post length ??)
