Enjoy this Pride Month bonus video episode! Join Rex Wilde (they/them) and Chris Angel Murphy (they/them) for a quick conversation about the importance and practice of queer joy and gender euphoria in the workplace. With so much discussion and movement around anti-LGBTQ legislation, it’s important to ground ourselves in how we can cultivate joy for LGBTQ+ and TGX+ (trans and gender expansive) folks – especially at work!

You can listen to the audio or watch this video on Spotify. Alternatively, you can watch on ⁠LinkedIn⁠ to see the comments from the attendees and participate in the conversation.

In this special bonus video episode, you will learn 1. How we define queer joy and gender euphoria 2. Some specific ways organizations and individuals can inspire joy for LGBTQ+ colleagues in the workplace 3. That repressing our joy doesn't lead to liberation, inspired by adrienne maree brown's book, Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good.
