Hello beautiful people! We wanted to celebrate and encapsulate the importance of the BIPOC side of the LGBTQ+ community by going over media representation, queer icons, and of course personal stories. We hope you had a pride month full of love, support, and validation. We also wanted to remind you that Chica Chats is a safe place and a place of acceptance!
