Celebrating the (E) in Our P.R.I.D.E.

[Sean Rice]

This week for Pride Month, we are celebrating the "E" in our acronym:



Expression/ Expressive: Let's celebrate the unapologetic expression that is
showcased within the LGBTQ+ community and the, "Charisma, Uniquiness,
Nerve, and Talent"- (Rupaul) needed to express ourselves freely! As we
close out Pride month, let's continue to uplift and support our LGBTQ+
community members through our actions and not our words! Now is the time to
follow the LGBTQ+ communities lead in how to express all of our identities
without limits, "Express Yourself"- Charles Wright (1970)!


Check-out these pieces of representation for Expression in the community:
