In partnership with San Mateo County’s Office of Diversity and Equity (ODE), the San Mateo County Pride Center hosted its very first virtual Open Mic on May 20th to honor Mental Health Awareness Month. We were all so moved and touched by the creativity and bravery shown by the community to share their experience with mental health! The event was filled with so much support for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as allies. About 75 people attended virtually, and it was beautiful and amazing to see everyone supporting each other during all of the performances. We hope to continue events such as this at the Pride Center since it was so successful and provided a safe space for people to share, communicate, and start dialogue with each other.
