After Pride Month comes and goes and the rainbows fade from view, the IN Directory by @INMagazineCA will be helping folks find support, safer spaces. 🌈

Although Pride Month is coming to a close, that doesn't mean that the advocacy and conversation ends as well. @Jumol from @INMagazineCA joins @Candace_Global to discuss the “In-Directory”, an 2SLGBTQI+ resource.

Nobel laureate Maria Ressa acquitted of tax evasion charges.

“This acquittal is for every Filipino who has ever been unjustly accused,” Ressa said.

A victory for journalism and #PressFreedom.

👉🏾Black women advocating for themselves aren’t angry or aggressive.
👉🏾Black women presenting with pain in need of pain management aren’t medication seeking.
👉🏾 Black women deserve the same standard of care as all patients.

Earlier this year I was offered a corporate job. It paid more than I'd ever made in my life. On my first day of training I realized my vision loss meant I couldn’t do the job.

I wrote about going blind, access needs, and quitting for @torontolife.

As a loyal fan of @YandR_CBS, I dreamed of the day when a same-sex storyline would take centre stage on the show and be celebrated. When it finally happened, it made me feel seen. 👩‍❤️‍👩

Authentic LGBTQ2+ representation in media matters, because we exist in every story. Here's how a gay storyline on one contributor's favourite soap made them feel seen:

Participate in an @egalecanada survey or focus group and help improve mental health supports for the LGBTQ2+ community in Canada. #LGBTQ #mentalhealthsupport

[IN Magazine @INMagazineCA]

Navigating the health system to find specialized supports and services as an LGBTQ2+ person can be challenging during the best of times. That's why @egalecanada is "queering mental health" and improving mental health supports for the community:

Attending today’s rainbow crosswalk and bench unveiling in the @City_of_Vaughan with my sister and my mom, who sometimes still struggles to come to terms with my sexuality, is a testament to just how far we’ve come on our journey together. And that makes my heart happy. 💗🌈
