I want to personally thank Sharon Huffman, LMSW, Luz Thomas and Winifred Muhammad for sharing their stories and words of advice.

If we want to have more trans pharmacists in our profession, you need to support trans kids and adolescents so they can make it to adulthood. Supporting trans pharmacists starts with protecting access to gender affirming care and safe, supportive schools for kids. #pharmacy #pharmacist #transgender #lgbtq #genderaffirmingcare

Back by popular demand! Join our friends @SanMateoPride for "Becoming Aware of our Assumptions: Conversations to Create More Inclusive Spaces" on Wednesday, May 29th from 6-8pm on Zoom. We all move through the world with assumptions and belief systems that impact our attitudes, behaviors, and interactions. The issue is not with our assumptions but whether we are aware of them. This interactive workshop is designed to help us carefully identify our biases, explore their roots, and determine methods to not let them hinder our interactions with others. The Pride Center provides a safe space for learning, exercises, and dialogue to better enable participants to foster safe spaces in our everyday lives. As the Bay Area prepares for June Pride celebrations, this pre-SOGIE/LGBTQ+ 101 curriculum fosters a safe space to help bring awareness to our own implicit biases about the LGBTQ+ community. Supported by Kaiser Permanente, this training will run in a carefully held space, allowing work to begin to unpack our own internalized assumptions by asking ourselves where they come from. Register quickly! This training will be capped at a 50-person maximum to foster a safe and grounding experience for all.

Virtual events are more accessible to many disabled people, especially those who are immunocompromised. For this reason, event planners should still be implementing virtual or hybrid options into their Pride celebrations. These 6 tips can help establish a baseline of accessibility for any virtual event. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ #LoveIsLove #TheFutureIsAccessible #a11y
