This episode is a special re-release of the most-watched Please Me Podcast episode of 2025—an award-winning conversation recognized with the Latin Podcast Award for Best LGBTQ+ Podcast. Its message remains powerful, relevant, and deeply impactful, which is why we’re bringing it back for continued listening and reflection.

In this meaningful episode, Eve reflects on LGBTQ+ advocacy, the power of visibility, and the importance of community—drawing inspiration from experiencing World Pride while in Washington, D.C. during the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) 50th Anniversary Conference. That intersection of global celebration and policy-centered advocacy sparked a deeper conversation around representation, accountability, and collective action.

This episode honors the resilience, brilliance, and humanity of LGBTQ+ voices while addressing the ongoing social and legislative challenges impacting the community today. This episode is dedicated to our trans and non-binary friends in the LGBTQ+ community, whose lives, leadership, and lived experiences deserve visibility, protection, and amplification.
