#74 - Reflecting on Pride Month

About this episode

Dion reflects on Pride Month and shares personal memories related to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Hello Friends!While sitting and reflecting, it dawned on me I hadn't ever done an episode about Pride Month, which is a pretty big deal here in Chicago, so I took some time to reflect on some memories that tightly correlate in my head with the LGBTQIA+ community.
