Our very own Hannah Kaplan, a rockstar research associate based in New York City, has a special message to celebrate Pride Month 2023.

In her video message, Hannah opens up about their personal journey as a queer non-binary individual. With grace and authenticity, they share what Pride means to them—embracing who you are unapologetically and creating communities that defy traditional norms.

But Hannah’s message goes beyond personal reflection. They’re all about spreading love and empowerment, encouraging others to embark on their own journeys of self-discovery. It’s a message of inclusivity and acceptance that resonates with anyone who has ever felt marginalized or misunderstood.

And let’s not forget Hannah’s shout-out to the trailblazers who came before us—the Black, Indigenous, and Brown individuals who have fought tirelessly for LGBTQ+ rights. Their legacy of resilience and activism deserves our utmost gratitude and recognition.
