I am dedicated to supporting the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community. Here are two reasons why I find this role to be incredibly important:
Inspiring the younger generation: Visibility plays a crucial role in inspiring and empowering younger LGBTQ+ individuals. By openly showcasing my professional journey and success as an LGBTQ+ professional, I aim to provide a source of inspiration and encouragement for those who may be navigating their own paths. It is essential for younger generations to see that they can thrive and succeed in their careers while being true to their authentic selves.
Highlighting the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion in business: Being a part of Project 1000 allows me to contribute to the broader conversation about LGBTQ+ inclusion in the business world. It emphasizes the significance of this topic and helps unmask individuals from the LGBTQ+ community as human beings with valuable contributions to make. By sharing my experiences and perspectives, I hope to drive the design of more LGBTQ+ community-friendly workplaces and products. This includes advocating for inclusive policies, creating safe and welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ employees, and promoting products and services that cater to the diverse needs of the community.
