I’m proud to also say that the company where I’m employed right now is very much promoting inclusivity – fact that I have already mentioned previously. TASKUS has participated in several Pride Month celebrations here in the metro. In TASKUS, we believe that there is strength in solidarity and that our differences make us stronger – than ever. We believe that though we have different hues, we are all ridiculous individuals who can leave our legacy of beautiful colors to the world.
We are now in a world where discrimination is no longer tolerated, and everyone is encouraged and embraced. This is the time where your gender preferences or sexual orientation is no longer questioned. These celebrations during the Pride Month, just like Love Laban Pride PH is a grand reminder of acceptance and equality. As you know, even if you aren’t a member of the community, you are welcome.
