In honor of Pride Month 2021, our host Ken Jaques and CIPE's Asia-Pacific Program Officer Gibson Haynes invite Angel Romero, the Director for Partnership & External Affairs of the Philippines LGBT Chamber of Commerce, to join the podcast. Our organizations' partnership is CIPE's first program devoted to LGBTQI+ economic empowerment. Following up on our recent joint Manila Virtual Forum on Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality: "Recover with Pride", they discuss the challenges facing LGBTQI+ business owners and employees, both societal and economic, which effect us all, from the Philippines to the United States. Listen to learn how to help, not only this Pride Month but every month.
