GROWLr Live spotlights diverse group of Pride and community organizers this month
GROWLr Live is doing something slightly different for Pride month by showcasing and focusing on members of the community who are involved in Pride and/or community building!
Every Tuesday in June, GROWLr Live will be offering these individuals and organizations a platform to speak, which will give them the additional exposure they deserve by informing the GROWLr audience about the amazing work they do year-round.
