Expression is a fundamental part of who we are as human beings. However, for the those who are marginalized, the ability to express individuality has too often come with a heavy price. Yet, expression that is creative is the foundation for how we process our emotions, fight for the rights of all people, share our personal and collective feelings, grow empathy and develop a sense of understanding for those who are different to us.

We will be hosting programming all through the month

For Pride Month, we welcome to you to let your creativity flow freely. We want to witness you in all of your glory. We'd like to celebrate the progress you've made in this year and this life - in your creativity!

We invite you to start with this song from Justin Michael Williams. The lyrics of the artist read: "No matter how much we contemplate, grow, grow, accomplish and achieve or even succeed There will always the child within every one of us that wants to know that they're sufficient. This is not only about what they "do," but for the person they truly are. "I am enough" dedicates itself to that person inside your. An anthem for each of us to be reminded that we're worthy regardless of what our lives have been through."
