Each week of June, we've highlighted LAIKAns who identify as LGBTQIA2S+ on LinkedIn! Now, we're honored to share their experiences and advice with you. Their stories and talent continue to inspire us during the month of #Pride and beyond! “Be brave enough to tell your stories. Don’t let others censor you or silence your voice. Your life and perspective are valuable enough to make a difference and stand out in a crowd.” – Davis, VFX Production Assistant “There will never be a version of you that appeals to everyone. Create what you know, and the sincerity will come through.” —Elodie, Facilities Assistant “Find your community and put yourself out there at your own pace.” —Eliza, Central Production Assistant “Every human deserves to feel authentically themselves in the workplace. And your co-workers want you to feel safe too. If you show up to work as a dude in a dress, you will get compliments!” —Declan, Replacement Animation Tester “Moving from Hong Kong to pursue my studies in the U.S. Embarking on this journey gave me invaluable space for self-discovery and self-acceptance. It allowed me to explore my true identity and embrace who I am today.” —Sunny, Facial Animator
