Pride is about reflection. It’s about remembering the icons and trailblazers who stood up and fought back against police brutality, against the stigma of HIV/AIDS, and for the right to simply exist. It’s for the ones we’ve lost and the ones who just wanted to be seen, heard, and loved for who they are. Pride is protest, but it’s also power, joy, and community.

Pride means liberation of any self judgement. It means not fitting into a mold and seeing the beauty in that. When you're finally free to live in your own skin and be comfortable with every part of you and in turn meet like minded communities that share the same values.

Pride, to me, is about being able to show up fully — in colour, in softness, in power. Remembering that there’s power in being soft, beautiful, and bold all at once.
It’s the freedom to express my identity without apology and to create from a place of truth.
As a creative and queer person, Pride means being visible, loud when I want to be, and beautifully complex.
It’s love, it’s resistance, it’s joy in full colour 🌈
