Pride time again! #maltapride #HSBCpride (at Republic Square, Valletta)

A statement issued on behalf of Founder Keisha Siriboe and the Stories of Us Officers. Stories of Us is a Hong Kong-based social enterprise that uses research-based curriculums to promote family bonding through early literacy. In light of recent events surrounding HSBC Hong Kong’s “Celebrate Pride, Celebrate Unity” campaign, and the subsequent petition organized by Hong Kong family groups referring to the campaign as “ugly” and “disgusting.” Therefore be it resolved, that Stories of Us supports the artwork of Michael Lam and his message of "unity in diversity." We further affirm our commitment to promoting early childhood literacy through global engagement, critical literacy, and parent education. Within our approach to early childhood literacy, we believe that all families in Hong Kong should see their stories represented in our social impact programs; particularly, the Pop-Up Read Aloud. We pledge and recommit to making our activities and events inclusive environments that welcome ALL people regardless of their color, religion, national or ethnic origin, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or immigration status.
