July is Disability Pride Month—a time to recognize the strength, identity, and leadership within disability communities, while also holding space for the daily realities of navigating a world built with barriers.

Every year on June 20, the world comes together to honour the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of people forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, and violence. At Moyo Health & Community Services, we take this opportunity to uplift the voices of 2SLGBTQIA+ refugees.

Queer and gender diverse individuals have always existed and been valued in many indigenous cultures around the world, including in North America. These cultures have rich histories and traditions that celebrate and honour individuals who do not conform to dichotomous gender norms.
