HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
SHAPED YOU?
Being a minority, it has always put me in situations where I felt different.
It may have been an intentional consequence or in a situation where
I was singled out. Coming into the community at large meeting other
like-minded people that I could empathize with, was and still is such an
affirmation of my identity. I wouldn't be where I am today if not for some
that I've met, and I could definitely say vice-versa. A sense of familiarity,
connection, establishing meaningful relationships are all the things that hold us together, and if you think
about it is not that different to all. If I had to pick a word it would be Empowerment - the experiences
(good, bad and the ugly) have made me stronger than ever to embrace my differences as strength and to live
my truth boldly. "If you can't love yourself, how in the h** you gonna love somebody else?"- Ru Paul

WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE A
PART OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY?
It makes me proud to be part of a community that understands everyone's
struggles and that offers support and solidarity. It's being proud to be part
of a community where you can walk freely hand in hand down the street
and making sure that nobody should ever have to be scared to love the
person that they love.
HOW DO YOU FEEL CAPRI HAS CELEBRATED EMPLOYEE DIFFERENCES?
I feel proud to work at Carpi Holding and I love how we have started to celebrate all employee differences.
These range from Monthly celebrations where we can learn and connect on our teams culture's from around
the world to spotlights on individual employees where we can learn and understand and get to know what's
really important to them and their families. I feel Carpi Holding are supporting in helping us to create an
inclusion world at work.
