Hi Everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am the publisher of Pride Journeys, an LGBTQ travel news website which also publishes the annual LGBTQ Travel Directory and Pride Guide. I am so proud to be a part of this group and community!

My name is Anthony and I am excited to be here and connect! I spent the last several years in formal leadership and technical roles in Health Information Management(HIM). My work has focused on compliance, clinical documentation, auditing, data, education and professional development within healthcare organizations. This past year I took a big intentional step and launched HIM Agents which is a staffing, compliance audit, and education and development company that supports healthcare facilities and HIM professionals. My goal is to build a modern and ethical HIM support ecosystem that makes it easier for facilities to stay compliant and for professionals to grow in their careers. My theme for 2026 is intentional growth. I have been focusing on expanding my network, building community, and connecting with other LGBTQ+ professionals who are creating things, leading in their fields, and thinking about the next chapter of their work. Finding this group was perfect timing for me and I am excited to add value and to learn from everyone here. Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Hi Everyone! A few lovely people have reached out to say hello, so I figured it was time to get my post in here. I am super excited because this is my first intro to a group where I can say I am an emerging Queer Canadian Author with my first book coming out next month. I write through mixed medium about growing up queer in the 90s and early 2000s before social media really took off and before we gained media representation. From aging to trauma, body standards to community labels, and healing in a world where the healing process has been dictated by our hetero counterparts, my book takes on social commentary and theology based on my life experience and observation of our community across platforms and places. My boring day job is in analytics for the time being but being able to collaborate and support each other - especially in places like this that don't rely on the prettiest picture getting the likes is super special. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello! Thanks for the invite to be part this community. My name is Dan Kredensor and I am the co-founder of Happy Bear Coffee Company based in Philadelphia, PA, USA. We have been an online and event based coffee company until this year. This spring we are opening our first brick & mortar in the Philly Navy Yard. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
