Happy Pride Month!
Pride is defined as, “The quality or state of being proud, such as…confidence and satisfaction in oneself.” The first step in the process of empowerment is knowing yourself. By knowing yourself, you are able to understand everything that makes up who you are, and be confident and satisfied with that — the main concept of pride.
Having pride, during this month and year-round, will allow you to identify what makes you unique from others and use that to move forward in your empowerment journey, aka leveraging your differences to make change.
June is a month filled with the celebration of differences, and below are some of the events happening this month doing just that:
