LGBTQIA+ voices heard: ‘Pride Pulse' brings community together
Lucknow: Celebrating diversity, inclusivity and self-expression, Suramya Life Foundation hosted 'Pride Pulse: Stories, Health, and Expression' a vibrant and inclusive community event as part of the Pride Month, at Sheroes Hangout on Monday. The event brought together members of the LGBTQIA+ community, healthcare professionals, artists and allies to promote dialogue around inclusion, identity and accessible healthcare. A key feature of the event was the screening of three short films — Monsoon Date, Heartbeat and Coming Out, which highlighted the everyday struggles and emotional journeys of LGBTQIA+ individuals. "These films reminded us that representation matters, and that the stories of LGBTQIA+ community need to be heard with empathy.." said director of Suramya Life Foundation, Anshoo Srivastava. The event concluded with an open mic session that offered community members a space to express and connect. "I walked in today carrying years of silence, shame, and doubt, but when I stood in front of that mic, all of it melted away," said Arjan, a member of the queer community and a participant of the open mic session. "When I narrated my story in front of the crowd, I was not sure how people would react. But the way they clapped, and came up to hug me after, I felt like I belonged in a way I never have before," said another participant Mehak, who is also a singer-songwriter.
