For Pride 2023, Carmichael Lynch invited Minneapolis agencies that are members of AdVocation: A DEI Collective to march in the Twin Cities Pride Parade. This year the theme was “Elevate and Amplify.” For the event, I created a t-shirt, parade banner, fans to give away and a Pride fanny pack.
About “Elevate and Amplify”
“It is more important than ever to understand and act with intentionality and purpose, highlighting our different voices while bringing other marginalized communities with us. Inclusion is one of our core values - we will make space for people to show up as they are, amplify their voices and highlight the many cultures of our community along with our strength and determination.We will stand together and show the world that we are here and will not be silenced. We will also give space to youth to show their true colors and acknowledge they are our future and they matter. Lastly, we will celebrate our community and support each other as we always have.” - Twin Cities Pride
