ILLUME proudly supports all members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Happy Pride Month!

🌈 In 1978, the rainbow Pride flag was flown for the first time. Gilbert Baker, its creator, was partially inspired by the Rolling Stones’ 1967 banger “She’s a Rainbow.” Today we celebrate Pride Month by sharing this 2021 podcast with ILLUME-ies, Jes Rivas and Maass (she/her), where they share stories about their LGTBQA+ experience in the workplace and what it's like to show up when your experiences are different than those around you. 🌈 https://lnkd.in/gGDwXdUr

Discover how ILLUME tackles the challenge of designing sustainable, year-over-year programs.
