Pride: Because No One Should Have to Convince the World of Their Humanity

It's Pride Month and your two immigrant friends are bringing you all lots of love, the history of pride and what it means to truly love. Join Andrea and Hostion as they share their own journey with pride. Hear how Hostion's journey led him to his first Pride experience in Hong Kong and how thankful he is to live his true self in Canada. Hear how Andrea's journey led her to be an ally, to learn what it meant to really love and all because of the love and kindness extended to her by her queer sisters. The history, the matriarchs and even the reasons to celebrate Pride collectively remind us that rights are worth fighting hard for, protecting and ensuring them for everyone and not just ourselves.To everyone within the LGBTQ+ community: while the world was busy trying to control and ignore what love is, you upheld it. You showed us all and continue to show us that love is eyes wide open, it's waking up as you are, it's collective and inclusive freedom, it's giving when no one gives back. The world thinks they know what love is and they may get there one day. Until then, take pride in your beautiful being just as we do. Let us know what you think of this episode!
