🩷 April 8 is International Day of Pink
Today, we stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and against bullying, and commit to leading in a way that is rooted in equality, acceptance, and respect.
It’s also a reminder that how we show up- online and in person- matters. Social media can be a powerful space to uplift, connect, and support one another, and this page is meant to be a safe and welcoming space for all.
We encourage thoughtful conversation and shared learning, and ask everyone to lead with kindness in their words and interactions. Lateral violence, harmful, or disrespectful comments will not be tolerated and will be removed to help protect this space.
Let’s continue to uplift one another and build a stronger, more inclusive community together! 🙇♀
