Coming out, I
noticed representation for the lgbtqa+ community would pick up like
clockwork as June approached but would then practically disappear once the
month's celebrations ended. While
large corporations and novelty shops may only see the financial incentive
during the June festivities, we don’t simply stop being queer after Pride is done.

As an immigrant, queer, minority woman, I am all too familiar
with the lack of honest representation
within our community, and I am on a
mission use my voice, my vision, and my talents to change that.
