I got the once in a lifetime chance to work on the Starbucks Pride project with a stellar team of Starbucks partners, to celebrate 50 years since the Stonewall Riots, along with intersectionality, inclusion and personal stories around Pride, in the setting of ‘the third place.’ It was by far one of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever gotten to work with a big brand on.

Portraits of Starbucks Partners who bravely shared their stories about identity,  friendship, and hardships, centered around Pride.
