This #PrideMonth🌈, we're proud to share the stories of our KIND LGBTQIA+ community. We asked leaders of our KIND&Proud resource group to share what community means to them. Today, we're introducing Ethan Parisen. Ethan is a Sr Director, Digital Commerce and has been with KIND for over two years.
📢"Co-leading KIND&Proud has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my time at KIND. Our mission is anchored in fostering an 'intentionally inclusive' culture and driving change through volunteerism, fundraising, and education. There’s always more to do, but I am thrilled to reflect on the progress we’ve made since launching in 2022. Together, we've hosted several fundraisers for our long-standing partner The Ali Forney Center sponsored training sessions to educate our team members on the power of inclusive language, and are looking forward to our second annual Drag Bingo pride celebration later this month 🌈.
Even today, 'Coming out' at work can be scary. If we can make that experience better for others AND raise money for incredible organizations that lift our community along the way, I'd say we're on the right track 🧡 ❤️ 💚 💙"
At KIND, cultivating an #inclusive workplace is an ongoing effort and we're grateful to our KIND&Proud KRG for reinforcing our #diversityandinclusion goals.
