“Welcome to Beloved”
“As a new team member, I was feeling hesitant to name the conflicting event. At previous workplaces, I was not always supported in my gender identity, sexual orientation, or LGBTQ+ activism. I knew Beloved was unabashedly pro-queer, but I was allowing my previous work experiences to influence me.” Read on as Erica Badowski reflects on a time when justice + joy coexisted for them at Beloved Community.

The Importance of Pronouns.
At Beloved Community we begin every facilitation with a group introduction. We ask each participant to share a bit about who they are; their history, what they’re hoping to learn, what brought them to our facilitation or talk, and to identify their gender pronouns.
