Legal and General see the importance of being YOU' and they're constantly looking for new ways to improve diversity and inclusion without positive discrimination."
Emma has been involved in events such as Pride for the past four years. Emma talks about some of her friends who have struggled being themselves and how pride festival has given them strength to embrace themselves. She comments: "I will always attend pride after seeing the effects on a few of my friends, they were empowered to be themselves by seeing others being proud of who they are".
