It’s #NationalComingOutDay. I’m grateful for the family and friends who met me with love and support. It’s something I’ll never take for granted, especially now as so many LGBTQ+ people face hostility and harmful policies. To anyone still figuring it out: You’re not alone, and your truth matters. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Today marks 15 years since we lost David. The grief of losing a sibling to suicide is complicated. But I'm grateful for the moments when we remember him, and for the community, the career, and the purpose I found in this loss. That’s the “why” that keeps me going.

Happy #Pride! As we celebrate love, identity, and the power of community, it’s more important than ever to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. In this sociopolitical climate, Pride is not just a celebration, but an act of resistance. Happy #PrideMonth to all, and to all a good fight! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
