June is Pride month. For me, it is a time to celebrate and reflect.

It is important to remember that
🏳️‍🌈Pride started as protest in 1969 at a bar called Stonewall in NYC. 🏳️‍⚧️That trans woman, Marsha P. Johnson was the brave person who threw the first stone.
🌈It was in the years following that Pride marches began.

I love celebrating Pride with my LGBTQ2SI+ friends, family and colleagues. Your community has meant a lot to me and has supported me. I consider you my family and will stand alongside you to celebrate, protest and fight until everyone has equal rights here in Canada and globally.
