We support the LGBTQIA+ community at Essence all year, but during Pride Month, we make an extra effort to disrupt the conversation about gender, identity, and freedom.

We, as a people, will no longer accept society’s antiquated ideals of traditional constructs, but instead will enable people to find strength wherever they can.

This Pride Month, Essence is recognizing beauty businesses that are supporting the LBGTQIA+ community by donating to charities that help queer folx throughout their journey to self-discovery, providing them with the support they need.
