I always love this time of year, because it never fails to feel the most colorful. And these bleak times emphasize the importance of using our voices to speak up for people and communities who face the greatest challenges simply for existing authentically. It always warms my heart to see everyone uniting to be seen and make others feel seen, the way we all deserve to be. This year, I may not be celebrating in the place I know best, but I get an amazing chance to experience Pride in a way I haven’t before. My husband and I have officially landed our tickets for Stockholm Pride and I’m absolutely thrilled. We won’t be attending until the end of July, which means we won’t be celebrating at the same time as most are right now, but I don’t mind. I choose to see it as a beautiful message to those on the outside looking in that we deserve to be LOUD and PROUD year-fucking-round, 24/7, whenever we choose. So take up space, besties. And never waste a second not being true to YOU. Because your true colors are the most radiant. 🌈✨

I’ve included some Pride looks I’ve been doing in anticipation, as well as my darling pup Anya who’s representing just like the rest of us. 🐾 Looking forward to sharing my experience and photos from Stockholm Pride very soon!
