Not Just Binary

0s and 1s work great for our computers, but our world has much more to offer.

The month of June is not just another summer month, but the month of pride. The month to celebrate love in all forms, spread joy and move towards being more diverse and inclusive. 🌈

History of the movement

Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. Initially the last Sunday of June was celebrated as "Gay Pride Day", and it soon grew to encompass a month-long series of events. We have celebrations throughout the month to support and foster the community. Memorials are held during this month for those members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the Pride Month is to recognize the impact that the LGBTQIA+ have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

What are we doing?

Even though there are laws and initiatives protecting the LGBTQIA+ rights and helping the community grow, we are still far from making everybody feel welcomed. As an early-stage startup, our goal is to break the biases, fight for what is right and build an ecosystem that is safe and welcoming to everyone. This Pride Month, we thought of adding a little color to our swag store! Every purchase made goes to organizations that are nurturing and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community.

Ending notes

This initiative is only aimed to contribute to the upliftment of the LGBTQIA+ community. We hope to spread some smiles and colors to your laptop and wardrobe with our awesome limited edition swag. 🦄

P.S - If you lead/know organizations that are all-inclusive and would love some help from us, please direct them to us.
