Across the nation, books are being banned. Young people are now faced with the strong possibility of not seeing themselves represented in the fiction they’re reading. On this latest episode of Pride Connection, several avid readers discuss what it was like to see ourselves on the pages of the books we loved, as well as how it felt when literature failed to represent us in an accurate way. We also offer resources for those living in areas where book bans are in place, and discuss ways individuals can stand up for the rights of all of us to read books that make us feel seen.

June is internationally recognized as Pride Month and this year BPI members and allies have taken to the MIC to share their thoughts on Why Pride? Why Pride matters? Why Pride is important?
This powerful set of testimonials spans experiences both very personal and very retrospective of our community. We share from our vulnerability, experience and from our hearts. We hope this episode will serve to continue the understanding of why all parts of us matter, need to be respected and why our pride can only strengthen the greater pride of advocacy.
If your really still asking yourself: Why Pride in this time and space this episode is for you.
BPI celebrates our strong and wonderful Allies this month as well and this episode is also a testimonial in itself of our strong Allied Members.

Late May coincides with Memorial Day in the U.S. and warm weather in many regions of the world. With summer in the air, it's time to pull out the suitcases from the closet and set out for new travel destinations. On today's Pride Connection podcast, Leah Gardner talks with some BPI members about their travel experiences around the world. They share memories of travels past and hopes for future exploration. They also share tips and tricks for navigating as a visually impaired traveler in new locations. If you want to travel with confidence, get packing and listen to this week's Pride Connection escapade.
Pride is a big deal in the LBGTQIA Plus community, but, for some of us who are blind or visually impaired, the idea of attending such a huge event can feel scary and/or overwhelming. On this episode of Pride Connection, we reached out to some of our members who have attended pride marches all over the country and came away with some tips and tricks that might make the whole experience feel a bit more doable. We hope this episode gives you some insight and maybe some confidence to get out this year and support the community.
