Here Come the Rainbows! - Beyond Performative Pandering during Pride Month

Pride Month is celebrated every June. It serves as a vital opportunity to recognize and support the LGBTQ+ community. With increasing visibility and acceptance, corporations have begun to align themselves with the principles of inclusivity and diversity.

Mother's Day+

The only memories I have of my mother and father are watching them on old VHS videos with my Gramma. They were taken from me before I was old enough to understand anything. I like to imagine they watch over me even if there isn't much they can do from where they are. I'm sure they loved me. But when mother's day comes around, there is one woman who I have known all my life who has been there for me in that role. That woman is my Gramma.

Pride Month 2021

June is Pride Month. We proudly join everyone this month in celebration of the contributions the many members of the LGBTQ+ community have made to our communities around the world.

Remembering Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We remember and honor the work and the memory of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today. Dr. King's speech from the March on Washington in 1963 is worth a listen. Civil unrest, division, and outrage at true inequality being codified into law was the background for this event. Even in the midst of all that, Dr. King saw the opportunity to "transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."
