Episode Notes

During our Silver Saturday Celebration earlier this year, members of BPI got together and shared a few coming out stories. This conversation was led by Kerri Regan and Shannon Dyer, giving space to anyone who chose to share their coming out experience. Now, in honor of National Coming Out Day, we’re sharing this conversation with a wider audience by turning it into a bonus Pride Connection episode. We hope you’ll find these stories as moving as we did.

Episode Notes

In this latest episode of Pride Connection, Robin talks about self-care. She delves into what it is, how to practice it, and why it’s important. She then opens the floor to participants Shannon, Tom, and Kristeen for their views and personal practices. Toward the end of the show, all four share resources they’ve found helpful along their own road to better self-care habits To learn more about Blind LGBT Pride International, please visit www.bpi.gay

Episode Notes

This week on Pride Connection, we present another highlight from our Pride Month Silver Saturday Festivities. Listen in as Shannon and Jessica host a discussion with our members about books, movies and TV shows we have particularly enjoyed. In this era of looming sensorship, anti-LGBT policies and the rollback of DEI initiatives, we feel it is more important than ever to highlight and celebrate media that represents our identities. From comedy specials to romance, from sci fi to memoir, you're sure to hear about something you'll love.
