Episode Notes

In this latest episode of Pride Connection, Robin talks about self-care. She delves into what it is, how to practice it, and why it’s important. She then opens the floor to participants Shannon, Tom, and Kristeen for their views and personal practices. Toward the end of the show, all four share resources they’ve found helpful along their own road to better self-care habits To learn more about Blind LGBT Pride International, please visit www.bpi.gay

Episode Notes

This week on Pride Connection, we present another highlight from our Pride Month Silver Saturday Festivities. Listen in as Shannon and Jessica host a discussion with our members about books, movies and TV shows we have particularly enjoyed. In this era of looming sensorship, anti-LGBT policies and the rollback of DEI initiatives, we feel it is more important than ever to highlight and celebrate media that represents our identities. From comedy specials to romance, from sci fi to memoir, you're sure to hear about something you'll love.

Episode Notes

Last year, the team produced a stirring, heartfelt commentary on why we still need pride parades and celebrations. Unfortunately, these musings are now even more relevant than they were back then. In the face of hatred, fascism and bigotry, let's conspire to have the boldest, loudest, most colorful and most affirming pride month EVER!!!
