Four ways to celebrate Pride Month at work and beyond:

1. Wear your pride, proudly.
• Wear your favourite pride outfit or item to work or on your next conference call.
2. Learn how to become a better ally.
• Whether or not you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community - you can learn how to be a better support to your friends, coworkers and family. Seek out online resources, books and other material!
3. Donate your time or money to an LGBTQ+ organization.
• We've tagged some ideas in the image.

Brandy Burdeniuk, Elizabeth Hanlis, Colleen Nuc and Shannon Neighbour all packed in so much information and inspiration in our always-too-short time together.
This is the first of a three part entrepreneur series we ran with the support of the @naitmawjicentre at @nait. 🔥
