Pride | H&S Pride Perspectives
June 8, 2021
Happy Pride Month from Team H&S! We are fiercely proud and protective of having a phenomenally diverse team here at the agency. While June marks the beginning of Pride celebrations around the world, today (and every day) we strive to create a more safe, inclusive, thriving workplace. Scroll down for some Pride Month perspectives from our team.
Pride to me is celebrating my authentic self each and every day, I'm so grateful to work with a group of people who not only encourage individuality but celebrate it.
Luis Braga, Director
We all have a responsibility to call out bias and prejudice if we see it. Being the mother of a gay daughter, I am an ally. Being an ally is a deep, personal commitment, which has allowed me to become more empathetic. Engaging with people who may appear to have a lot in common with me but who may have very different challenges and perceptions than I do, has made me grow personally and consciously to address my own bias. I applaud Charlotte's courage, passion, and confidence to be her true self.
Elizabeth Harrison, CEO & Co-Founder
Pride allows me to feel my most genuine and authentic self not only during the month, but also for a lifetime.
Omar Altimany, Summer Intern
My decision to join H&S was based upon the inclusive mindset and commitment to diversity. As a gay, Latina woman, it's important for me to work at a company that embraces the value of a diverse team and lives up to those values. So happy to be a part of the H&S family, but especially during Pride month.
