Happy pride month to everyone in the LGBTQ+ family. We are all valid, and deserve to live in dignity in our sexualities and identities!

I’ve always been one who does not want to draw any attention to myself, so I never wore or displayed anything that shows my pride. This year feels different. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone to decorate my purse, as well as wear accessories that shows I am unabashedly proud of who I am, as well as my brothers, sisters, and enbys in our community. I know this isn’t much, but it’s a lot for me personally.
