In honor of #Pride, we’re recognizing LGBTQ+ Circana employees and allies on our social channels this month! This week, we’re spotlighting Kristen Classi-Zummo. What does Pride mean to you? To me, Pride signifies an unwavering commitment to being an active ally for my LGBTQ+ friends, colleagues, and the community. It goes beyond verbal support or emotional solidarity — it means dedicating my time, energy, and resources to truly doing the work. This includes educating myself on LGBTQ+ issues, amplifying their voices, challenging heteronormative biases, and taking tangible steps each day to create a more inclusive world where LGBTQ+ individuals can thrive authentically without discrimination. Being an ally is an ongoing journey of learning, unlearning, growing, and living my values of acceptance, compassion, and justice. Pride reminds me to continually examine my own prejudices and show up not just with words, but through tireless action and solidarity. #CircanaCelebratesPride

As we celebrate Pride Month, let's take a moment to reflect on the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in our workplaces and communities. Embracing DEI not only enriches our environments but also drives innovation and growth. This month, let's commit to learning more about the experiences of the LGBTQ+ community, to understanding the challenges they face, and to taking action in support of their rights. Let's use this time to start conversations that matter, to share stories that inspire, and to build bridges that unite. Together, we can create a world where everyone is free to be themselves and where equality isn't just a goal, but a reality. #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualityForAll

As we approach the end of Pride Month, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the importance of allyship. Pride Month is a beautiful celebration of love, acceptance, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community. But let's remember that support shouldn't be limited to these 30 days. Being an ally means showing up consistently, even when the rainbow flags come down. We're all on a journey of self-discovery and growth. As allies, it's crucial to keep learning, unlearning, and challenging biases. Attend workshops, read books, listen to diverse voices, and engage in conversations that expand your understanding. Allyship isn't performative—it's about action. Reach out to LGBTQ+ friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. Ask how they're doing, celebrate their victories, and stand by them during challenges. Amplify their voices and advocate for equal rights. None of us have all the answers so it's important to approach allyship with humility. Seek feedback, acknowledge mistakes, and commit to doing better. The more we learn, the stronger our support becomes. #PrideMonth #Allyship #LoveIsLove #InclusionMatters
