Why Do Brands Only Show Their True Colors in June? 🌈 As it is Pride Month, I have been reflecting on the influx of rainbow logos and celebratory posts from brands across all industries. It is heartening to see so much support for the LGBTQ+ community, but it also raises an important question: Why do these expressions of solidarity often disappear once July begins? True allyship means standing by the LGBTQ+ community year-round, not just when it is trending. It is about ensuring inclusive policies, supporting LGBTQ+ employees and customers, and fostering a culture where everyone feels safe and valued every single day. So, as we bid farewell to another Pride Month, let's challenge ourselves and the brands we support to keep the spirit of Pride alive all year. 🌟 #PrideMonth #LGBTQAllyship #InclusiveWorkplaces #YearRoundSupport #TrueColors

What is “Rainbow Washing?” Rainbow washing, defined as using rainbow colors to show support for LGBTQ equality without meaningful advocacy, is a sneaky marketing tactic. Companies often splash rainbows and LGBTQ imagery in June but forget about it later. This practice, termed "optical allyship," is wrong and unethical, especially when companies harm the LGBTQ community. How to Avoid Rainbow Washing Your Brand: 1. Stay consistent in advocacy. 2. Elevate LGBTQ+ voices. 3. Embrace workplace diversity. 4. Donate to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. 5. Speak out against injustice. Move forward by being a genuine ally year-round, not just during Pride month. Let's strive for authentic support and allyship beyond the rainbow-colored marketing gimmicks. #HappyPride!

Estate Planning: An Essential for LGBTQ+ Equality 🌈 🏳️🌈 As we continue to fight for equality, estate planning remains essential for protecting our rights and relationships. This Pride Month, let's focus on securing our future. #PrideMonth #LGBTQRights #EstatePlanning

Amen! When team members can bring their individual differences to work, the team is more capable of meeting stakeholder, org/company or, in the case of development teams, donor needs with rigorous logic, deep empathy and high authenticity. Inclusive teams produce consistently better outcomes in the short and long term. If you want a competitive edge, build diverse, inclusive teams with intention. It won't be easy but the pay off is worth it.

Rainbow Washing' refers to companies using #pride symbols and aesthetics without genuinely supporting LGBTQ+ rights and dignity. The LGBTQ+ community faces workplace challenges like discrimination and lack of representation. Companies must actively create inclusive environments beyond Pride Month, showing a constant commitment to equality and inclusion.🌈🌈 Instead of falling into Rainbow Washing, we should focus on concrete actions promoting diversity and inclusion. This means implementing non-discrimination policies, training and awareness programs, and ensuring active LGBTQ+ representation at all levels, both internally and externally. Pride is not confined to a month but requires ongoing commitment.🌈🌈 We love being the ones who accompany you in boosting your brand. #womenownedmedia #nondiscrimantion #minorities
