ATHLEISURE MAG #102 JUN ISSUE | NYC PRIDE 2024

Athleisure Mag has been a Media Sponsor of NYC Pride for the past 7 years and it has great to continue our sponsorship for an 8th year in a row to support the community which brings people together through an array of events throughout the city! There have been a number of fun events that have taken place over the past few weeks and if you're still looking to support and enjoy the festivities, we suggest that you head out to Mets Pride Night sponsored by Citi on Jun 28th as well as to make a day of it on Un 30th where you can enjoy the iconic March as well as Pride Fest!

What we have enjoyed this month is that there have been a number of events to take place so make sure that you check out these events and more by visiting the site so that you can coordinate with friends and family.

This year's theme of Reflect. Empower. Unite. focuses on the LGBTQIA+ community and marks the 55th Anniversary of the the Stonewall Uprising as well as the 40th Anniversary of the Heritage of Pride, the organization that puts on NYC Pride. This theme aims to highlight the importance of The March as an intersection for liberation and joy of the community as well as looking at the activist history that created the movement as well as to reflect whether you're an individual, ally, community leader, activist to understand the challenges that have been overcome as they find ways forward.

These events aim to bring the city together across the boroughs in the city as well as the world at large together. Last year, we talked with Sandra Perez (MAY ISSUE #89 in 2023) Executive Director of Heritage of Pride. She talked about how NYC Pride started, why it is an important event, and how they use their platform.
