LGBTQ+ Community Check-In: Week of Jan 9 - 15

The second week of January is here, the busy season is over, time to go back to work and school or maybe even write a few more exams. January is sort of the “Monday” of the year, year end parties and celebrations are over and it’s back to the day to day and the next big holiday is often months away for many of us.

So how is your January going so far? What do you like about January? What are some things you could do this week to make your week better?

Good news about January though, that means Pride month is only 5 months away, plenty of time to sew myself a new rainbow dress right? So while it may seem early to start planning, if you were to get an early start on celebrating pride, what is something fun you might want to create, plan or save up for?
