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—an internal initiative dedicated to fostering diversity, inclusion, and belonging across our company.
**Our Story**
Mars Comeau, a veteran Team Lead at the Customer Care and Happiness Centre, has been instrumental in bringing the Pride Alliance to life. As an active member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, Mars understood the power of visibility and support in the workplace. She shared her vision with leadership, and the response was nothing short of inspiring—full of encouragement and enthusiasm for change.
“I just wanted to start a conversation,†Mars says. “I wanted to make sure we were talking about it. And look where it’s gone—it’s become part of who we are.â€
Last year, the first Pride Movie Night was held at the Customer Care and Happiness Centre, and it was a huge hit. The event sparked a lot of excitement, with many team members eager to keep the celebration going beyond June. Mars reached out to trusted allies and community members, and together they formed the Pride Alliance as a company-wide effort.
“People shared their stories—of supporting loved ones, of struggling, of finding strength. These stories really resonated with me, and I knew we could take this further than just a month.â€
**Making a Difference**
Just months after those early conversations, the Pride Alliance is already making a real impact. Through educational resources, events, and meaningful discussions, the initiative is helping both team members and leaders grow in their understanding and support of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
The first meeting brought together a large group of passionate individuals, with many leaders expressing a desire to better support their LGBTQIA2S+ colleagues. Mars is excited to see inclusivity becoming more than just a Pride Month topic—it’s now being integrated into onboarding and community initiatives.
“My experience at Rümi has shown me that when we start something, we don’t stop. It’s incredible to see this alliance fully up and running, encouraging people to choose Rümi as their workplace.â€
**Pride Every Day**
At Rümi, we believe 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 charge and to the amazing community members and allies who’ve helped bring the Pride Alliance to life.
As we celebrate Pride this month, let’s remember that our commitment to inclusion doesn’t end when June does. Let’s continue to support our LGBTQIA2S+ team members every day, not just during Pride Month. Together, we can create a future that’s more inclusive, welcoming, and empowering for all.
