Episode 19 of the Jess Get Hired Podcast features Elena Joy Thurston, Founder of  Pride and Joy Foundation, a non-profit that is dedicated to reducing the rate of suicide and homelessness in the LGBTQ+ community. Elena Joy is an inspirational LGBTQ+ speaker and trainer. She is also a  Mormon mom of four who lost her marriage, her church, and her community when she came out as a lesbian.  Elena’s viral TEDx talk on surviving conversion therapy has been viewed 45,000+ times and landed her media and speaking engagements with ABC, CBS, Logitech, Michael’s, and more.  Elena Joy recently launched Pride and Joy Publishing, the only publisher of solely LGBTQ+ empowerment and business books.

We are going to talk about looking at our current workplace and the future of work in a way to increase awareness of incorporating a full spectrum of gender diversity and non-binary thinking into their current DEI initiatives.
