Today is International Pronouns Day. Respecting pronouns is a simple yet powerful way to affirm identity and foster inclusion.

If comfortable, consider sharing your pronouns and integrating them into your professional spaces. Visibility helps strengthen our community!

Centered below is a black wavy bubble shape with a yellow border that reads “October 15 International Pronouns Day.” A smaller purple speech bubble says “My pronouns are…” The background is divided into three textured color blocks: teal at the top, white in the middle, and pink at the bottom, representing the colors of the Transgender Pride Flag. At the bottom of the image, the hashtag “#ShareYourPronouns” appears in bold black text.
