🌈 As we close out Pride Month, we are excited to share another special video featuring our employees reflecting on what Pride means to them.   From the joy of being authentic and celebrating achievements to the importance of community and continued advocacy for rights, their stories are a testament to the diverse experiences within our team.   These narratives remind us that Pride is not just about celebrating who we are but also about reflecting on our past, acknowledging our progress and continuing to push for change. Happy #Pride! 🏳️🌈
