Happy Pride 🌈💫
I’m one of the lucky ones. My coming out wasn’t a battle—I never feared being unloved or unwelcome. My queerness was met with warmth, support & open arms. For that, I’m endlessly grateful.
But I know that’s not the case for everyone. For many, being who they are means risking rejection, silence or worse. That’s why Pride matters so deeply. It’s not just a celebration—it’s visibility, it’s resistance, it’s a reminder that love in all its forms is worth fighting for.
Representation is how we build a world where no one has to question if they’re allowed to love or be loved. When people see themselves reflected—in media, in leadership, in everyday life—it chips away at shame, fear and the lie that being different means being alone.
So this month (and every month), I celebrate not only my own story, but every story—those still being written, those still finding the words and those that have never been told out loud. You are seen. You are loved. You belong. 🏳️🌈
