Rümi Pride: Our Origin Story
Happy Pride Month, everyone! As we celebrate the LGBTQIA2S+ community and the progress we've made toward equality, it's also a time to reflect on the work that still lies ahead. That’s why we’re proud to have launched the Rümi Pride Alliance—a company initiative dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion, and support for all employees.
**Our Story**
Mars Comeau, a seasoned Team Lead at the Customer Care and Happiness Centre, was the driving force behind the creation of the Pride Alliance. As an active member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, Mars understood the power of visibility, support, and belonging in the workplace. She shared her vision with leadership, and the response was incredibly positive and encouraging.
“I just wanted to start a conversation. I wanted to make sure we were talking about it. And look how far it has come—this is now part of who we are.â€
Last year, the first Pride Movie Night took place at the Customer Care and Happiness Centre, and it was a huge hit. The event sparked excitement among team members, many of whom expressed a desire to keep the celebration going beyond June. Mars reached out to trusted allies and community members to help turn the idea into a company-wide initiative.
“A lot of people shared their personal stories—about supporting loved ones, facing challenges, and finding strength in community. These stories really resonated, and I knew we could take this further across Rümi.â€
**Making a Difference**
Just months after those early discussions, the Pride Alliance is already making a real impact. Through educational resources, engaging events, and meaningful conversations, the initiative is bringing together employees and leaders alike. The first meeting was packed with participants, and many leaders expressed a new commitment to supporting their LGBTQIA2S+ team members.
Mars is excited to see the conversation around inclusivity grow beyond Pride Month, with plans to integrate it into onboarding and community outreach programs.
“My experience at Rümi so far has shown me that when we start something, we don’t stop. It’s incredible to see this alliance fully up and running, and to know it encourages people to choose Rümi as their workplace.â€
**Celebrate Every Day**
At Rümi, we believe that every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. We're committed to building a workplace that celebrates all identities and backgrounds. We’re incredibly grateful to Mars for leading the way and to the passionate community members and allies who helped bring the Pride Alliance to life.
Let’s continue to celebrate Pride not just this month, but every day. Together, we can create a more inclusive future—one where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
