Many LGBTQ+ employees face the daily challenge of hiding their identity at work since coming out can feel risky—even in environments that seem safe. In this video, we explore why being closeted at work is so common, the mental and emotional toll it takes, and how small acts of visibility can empower both you and your coworkers.
From navigating the workplace safely to showing up authentically, visibility is empowering, and even small steps help create a more inclusive environment for everyone.
