During ๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ฌ: ๐๐๐๐๐, we were overwhelmed with gratitude and renewed hope. The event showed us how meaningful change happens quietlyโthrough stories shared with honesty and identities embraced without judgment. ๐๐๐๐๐ reflected the values we hold close: compassion, authenticity, and the bravery to live oneโs truth.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐ฌ: ๐๐๐๐๐ became more than just an event; it became a space where purpose was reignited, where advocates found new strength, and where the spirit of Bayanihan was felt deeply once again. We offer our heartfelt thanks to I am MAD for creating a space where voices are honored, healing takes root, and communities like ours draw strength from our shared humanity. Your work reminds us that hope grows when people choose to listen, lift each other up, and believe in the goodness of others.
