A couple of years ago, we had the incredible opportunity to partner with Annapolis Pride to develop their strategic plan. It was an inspiring experience to work alongside their dedicated Board to chart a roadmap that builds upon their incredible work to expand their impact and foster a more inclusive community. Collaborating on this project was a natural fit with Due East's core values: 🌈 Equity - We supported Annapolis Pride in pursuing equity for the LGBTQ+ community by leading with inclusive, anti-racist practices and policies. 🤝 Belonging - Together, we strategized ways to strengthen community connectedness and ensure LGBTQ+ youth and adults feel safe, welcomed, and represented. ✨ Agency - Our work is centered on amplifying the voices and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community to drive change. 🌍 Community - Annapolis Pride's strategic plan prioritized building diverse partnerships and engaging the broader community to establish safe spaces and expand access to critical services. Partnering with Annapolis Pride embodies our commitment at Due East to uplift and collaborate with people of all backgrounds in building a more just, equitable world. We're grateful for the opportunity to support their vital work and vision. #inclusivity #diversity #equity #belonging

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a powerful and vital reminder of both the immense struggle for freedom and the enduring strength of African Americans throughout history and today. This celebration gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we can be a positive force for change. An equitable and inclusive world means dismantling systemic barriers and ensuring fair access, opportunity, and advancement for every individual. It requires going beyond surface-level diversity to foster a real sense of belonging for all. Share how you're working to promote equity, impact, and belonging in your communities. What does Juneteenth inspire you to do differently? #juneteenth #equity #impact #belonging
