Inside the Parentheses

Our staff picks

June is Pride month, and here in Columbus, Pride is a big deal. To honor it, and our city’s thriving LGBTQIA+ communities. This issue features individuals, businesses and more who are true to themselves. To find out what “True to You” means to us, we asked our staff members about what makes them unique individuals. Here’s what they said.

When I was a kid, my eyes were two different colors. I guess I grew out of it?

— Jack McLaughlin, Editor-In-Chief

I can recite the alphabet backwards. And I feel like I'm the only person I know who eats hot dogs completely plain. Like zero toppings at all or I won't eat it.

— Justynne Pride, Marketing Director

I can't think of anything that interesting, but I graduated college before I could (legally) buy a drink.

— Tori Smith, Creative Designer

This is a weird one, but I can fold my tongue into a W.

— Julia Attanasio, Marketing Coordinator

I don’t know if this counts, but I can roll my R’s.

— Anna Gerhard, Account Executive

When I was little, I wanted to try a cheeseburger in every state.

— Lindsay Press, CEO

I broke my back and pelvis in high school, and as of last week I can do a chin stand.

— Lizzy Saunders, Brand Manager, (614) Beer

I can jump approximately 6 ½ feet high

— Louie Attanasio, Barketing Consultant [Louie is a dog]
