Thank you to Kristy Lilas, VP of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at GoDaddy, for speaking with our Proud @ Level Employee Resource Group (ERG) last week! Kristy’s session explored concepts surrounding identity and community, as well as health and wellness for LGBTQIA+ people—and we’ll be drawing on the insight Kristy shared well beyond Pride month, as we focus on better supporting and advocating for one another as complex, intersectional individuals. One key piece of wisdom from Kristy? “If you approach any situation with a sense of compassion, curiosity, and courage, you're going to be an ally—not just to others within the LGBTQIA+ community, but to other marginalized communities as well.” #Pride2024 #PrideMonth
