On August 15th, our JET & Proud LGBTQIA Network partnered with Colorintech for an event focused on deepening our understanding of #intersectionality within the LGBTQIA community 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌍 We explored the unique experiences faced by those belonging to both LGBTQIA and ethnically diverse communities, often navigating multiple layers of marginalization. This was an opportunity to reflect on how we, as a company and individuals, can better support and celebrate diversity. By coming together to inspire, educate, and celebrate, we can better understand these experiences and foster a more inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Josh Rivers, host of the Busy Being Black podcast, opened with a thought-provoking discussion on what it means to live at the intersection of these identities. Our panel—Jaron Soh (Voda: The LGBTQIA Mental Wellness App), Zareen Ali (Cogs AI), Terence Guiamo (JET), and Janine Cushnie (JET in Colour)—shared their personal stories and the impactful work they’re doing to support the community. Thank you to everyone who joined us, both in-person and virtually, for helping shed light on these experiences and contributing to our collective understanding of intersectionality. #WeAreJET #Inclusivity #Pride
