J&J - Living Your True Self

June is Pride Month, and I began the month with a post about Sephora including beauty classes for Transgender customers.

LEADERSHIP!

Then I explored new Fluide makeup for all gender expressions and new Flesh makeup from Revlon that features products for 40 skin tones.

INCLUSION!

And then yesterday, I wrote about Soul Cycle's new campaign that talks about how #AllSoulsWelcome.

PRIDE!

I can't promise that I won't write about Pride marketing again, but today's post rounds out my fab five for Pride 2018. But we're going internal.

I write all the time about my time at Johnson & Johnson. I held my first marketing post there and I'm very proud of what I learned on my many assignments and from my many mentors. Many of my friends today are from my J&J days.

THANK YOU!

When I saw this link on LinkedIn from a former J&J colleague, I just had to click. The company's new website is featuring inspiring stories from J&J employees talking about their lives. Telling their personal stories. One of the first was from a gentleman talking about "living his true self."

In this post, Clark Musto talks about how he had the "backing of the entire company" when he transitioned from female to male.

I can't even begin to tell you the pride I feel as a J&J alum.

Now that's Leadership, Inclusion, and Pride! Thank you!

What's your personal story? What's your experience? JIM
