Throughout June, our Laced with Pride ERG held a variety of events and initiatives in celebration of Pride Month centered around this year’s theme “Power in Pride,” honoring the ability to live authentically and reflecting the uniqueness of the LGBTQ+ community. From donating $10,000 to support The Trevor Project, the leading suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for young people, to curating materials to educate, inspire, and promote inclusivity in the workplace for all individuals, Laced with Pride created an impactful experience for everyone. Thank you to Laced with Pride and all team members who contributed and participated in this year's Pride Month events! #PrideMonth #TheHeartofSneakers

June is Pride Month, a time to celebrate diversity, and inclusivity, as well as highlight the ongoing fight for equal rights and opportunities for the LGBTQ+ community. We are proud to stand with and support the incredible work of Mermaids, a charity close to our hearts. Mermaids is dedicated to supporting transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse children, young people, and their families. We believe that embracing and empowering all members of the trans community is crucial for any organisation, regardless of the industry. This is why we are honoured to fund Mermaids’ local group activities, which create a safe space to celebrate and uplift the community. Jo and the Thornicroft family have felt the benefit of the amazing work of this charity first-hand. The care they have provided, and their unwavering support have been a huge help and immeasurable comfort in such a turbulent and troubled time. We strive to support them, as they have us, in the hope they will be able to continue their important work and care for other families just like ours. Mermaids also helps businesses to improve their support of LGBTQ+ employees and customers through essential resources and CPD-accredited training. If you're interested in learning more about Mermaids' training courses and how to foster a more inclusive environment within your organisation, check out the link here: Training - Mermaids (mermaidsuk.org.uk) #Mermaids #PrideMonth #Community #Inclusivity #Equality

Happy Pride Month! We are allies. 🌈 Here are 5 ways to celebrate Pride Month: 1. Educate yourself Learn all about the history of the LGBTQIA+ community, its history, and its challenges. 2. Donate Give back to the LGBTQIA+ community by donating to an affiliated nonprofit in your area. 3. Increase LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the workplace If your workplace does not have a culture that promotes LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, speak to your manager about ways the company can be more inclusive to this community. 4. Watch a documentary on the Stonewall Riots Learn how it all began by watching an informative documentary on the Stonewall Riots and the events that preceded and followed them, like “Stonewall Forever” or “Stonewall Uprising”. 5. Be supportive If someone you know is LGBTQIA+, be supportive as they pursue their journey. #pridemonth #LGBTQIA+ #loveislove #metabolichealth #obesitymedicine #obesity #ally Courtney Younglove, M.D., FOMA, FACOG, DABOM Maribeth Orr, D.O., DABFM, DABOM Maren Ozier Here is more about Pride Month from The National Council for Mental Well Being 👇 https://lnkd.in/eNmtJ-4M

Some thoughts I have about #PrideMonth this year and how organizations can support the LGBTQ+ members of key audiences.
At Slide Nine, we embrace diversity and inclusion not just as seasonal observances, but as pillars of our work culture. We proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community, not just during Pride Month but every day. Through our unique philanthropy initiative, we empower our team members to make a difference by providing each with $1,000 to donate to causes of their choice that promote a safer, more equitable world. #HappyPride #Community #DEI
