Happy Pride Month!

Express Yourself
Cara Delevigne

It's June the first Minions, and as per usual the month of June is Pride Month. I thought we should kick off the month with a roar. That noise belonging to one Ms. Cara Delevigne 

Cara recently gave an interview to one of my favorite magazines, Paper and they asked the question of her "Starting off, what does Pride mean to you?" 

Her answer was so great that I thought it was to perfect way to christen Pride Month right here, right now. "Yes" here it is...

"I think Pride, for me, is accepting wherever I am that day. As in, I am proud to be wherever I feel in that moment. Growing up, I didn't feel a lot of pride at all – I was quite scared. I was fearful. I was in hiding. I think many people in the community know what it's like to have to hide part of yourself. So to be proud is to really be able to feel free to shout from the rooftop, 'This is who I am, take it or leave it. I love myself.' And there is nothing anyone can do about it. I think that's truly inspirational and truly something I wish I had as a teenager, but how inspired I am by people and teenagers and young people who can do that"

Preach!
