Still soaking in all the joy, love, and power of this past weekend at the Portland Pride parade and festival…
Being in community with so many beautiful, radiant souls was beyond fulfilling. The energy was electric — laughter, music, tears, hugs, bold expression, quiet strength, and an overwhelming sense of belonging.
Pride isn’t just a celebration — it’s a powerful reminder that authenticity is a form of resistance, and community is a source of healing.
To everyone who showed up as their full selves, and to those who are still finding their way — I see you, I honor you, and I’m walking beside you.
This weekend reminded me that when we come together, we rise together. And that is something worth showing up for, again and again.
