This month, we raise our rainbow flag high and celebrate all of the beautiful colors of diversity that create PRIDE. The June issue is dedicated to our LGBTQ+ community, advocates and allies—we here at DiversityComm Magazine see you and we stand with you.
Standing right with us is the undisputed queen of hip-hop and this month’s cover story, Queen Latifah. An entertainment icon and music legend in her own right, Latifah has never been shy about empowering women, speaking up for body positivity or supporting the LGBTQ+ community. After receiving BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, Latifah ended her powerful speech by officially coming out and sharing her love for partner, Eboni Nichols, and their son, Rebel. “Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love. Peace. Happy Pride!” Read more about Latifah’s legendary career and advocacy on page 70.
If you’re looking for a stand-out career, reading “Explore a Finance Career: Opportunities & Insights” on page 50 may give you some much-needed inspiration.
Been sending out resumes lately but not getting much response? “Optimizing Your Resume for ATS: Career Success Strategies” on page 54 might be a game changer for you. And whether you’re a longtime LGBTQ+ business owner or just getting started, reading “Thriving Queer-Owned Businesses: Benefits of Certification” on page 66 may open the door to new opportunities.
As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I applaud all of the advocates, allies and supporters who continue to stand up and speak out. I am proud to stand with you—not just this month, but every single day of the year. Happy Pride!
