For #PrideMonth this year, we’re keeping it in the neighborhood and supporting the Attic Youth Center, which is a community center for LGBTQ youth. The Attic is an important space that provides youth with a sense of belonging, connection, and understanding. For a little fun treat this summer, we’re giving them $1,000 worth of gift cards to Rita's Italian Ice, so they can stay cool with a Philly classic.

This was one of the biggest ah-ha moments I've had coming out of a Comm Convo. Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I often have big ideas and then dig in to work really hard and make it happen. No humble-bragging; my point is the opposite. A weakness with my M.O. is that it's easy to get tunnel vision and not appreciate signs of progress and small wins, because I'm always working toward something else. I think this is why change -- when it comes to more important issues like achieving true equity in [fill in the blank with any industry name here] -- seem elusive. Yes, while it's inarguably important to not lose sight of those master goals, we can do our part to create safe spaces for those in our own communities. Especially in our role as communicators in an industry with human health at its center, we are super well-positioned to lead by example. And the ah-ha moment for me specifically was that seemingly small gestures can have real, meaningful impact, and that shouldn't be taken for granted or worse, sacrificed because we're too busy trying to convince other people to do the right thing.
“The people who need the help or the comfort will know that you're safe.” We heard last week from LGBTQ advocate and educator Lex Clay, M.S. in our Comm Convo on embracing diversity and allyship that it doesn’t always take a lot to create safe spaces. In those moments when big, sweeping change seems slow and hard, we can still do our part, and we can still make an impact.
