My heart is still so full. 🌈✨The Pride Lafayette, Inc. Rainbow Gala on 3/21 was an unforgettable evening, one that I will carry with me for a lifetime. I am deeply honored and grateful to have received the Spirit of Pride Award, but even more meaningful was being allowed the opportunity to share that moment on stage with my nephew, Greyson.Watching him step into his truth and courage; sharing his life journey of coming out not once 🏳️‍🌈, but twice🏳️‍⚧️ was nothing short of powerful. It was his first time speaking publicly, and he did so with a grace, strength, and authenticity that moved the entire room. Not a dry eye in sight.Our story is one of love, consistency, and what it truly means to show up for one another. To have him stand beside me in that moment is something that will forever be etched in my heart.This recognition is extremely humbling, but more than anything, it is a reminder of the power of family NOT just the one we are born into, but the one we build through love, support, and belonging.Thank you to Pride Lafayette for creating spaces where people can be seen, celebrated, and embraced fully. I and MyPath are proud and honored to continue to support your work - we were thrilled to have staff from our local Lafayette company, Wisconsin companies, and hashtag#EmployeesResourceGroups (hashtag#ERGs) Leaders present. Thank you to everyone who continues to show up, advocate, and create places where others can feel safe, seen, and at home.The moment was a reminder that leadership and allyship are not just about advocacy; they are about relationships, presence, and creating spaces where people feel safe, seen, and supported.Be encouraged that consistency through adversity and choosing joy, even in hard moments, is a powerful form of resistance - a pathway to hope and how we sustain it. 🩵Family Equality hashtag#Leadership hashtag#Allyship hashtag#Humanity hashtag#Belonging hashtag#CommunityImpact hashtag#Inclusion hashtag#Families
