Diskin Divas Drag Brunch

We had a great time at Diskin Cider on Sunday for Drag Brunch! Our members, board, and friends enjoyed delicious food, a high-energy show, and refreshing cider. A portion of the proceeds from Diskin's Daydream Prickly Pear Rose Cider will benefit our LGBT Chamber Foundation to support efforts to educate, inspire, and empower LGBT business professionals. Don’t forget you can also stop by any of the locations on this map and buy Daydream!

 

Small Business LGBT-Community Visioning Project Conversation-

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Tuesday night for Nashville Pride's Community Envisioning small business conversation at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center. We had a very diverse group of people who shared their views on the needs of the future for our community. If you have not been able to join a conversation in this series, please take part in the Community Visioning Project Survey, which is open to everyone.

 

August Brewing Up Business- 

What a turn out! We had over 140 guests attend the August Brewing Up Business hosted by Thistle Farms and Inspired Concepts & Events at the Thistle Farms Cafe. We heard from both mayoral candidates and our two hosts. You can check out pictures and live announcements from the event. In the announcements, we heard from a Thistle Farms graduate who shared her story, their mission and work, and the message of love heals. It was an incredible moment. We hope everyone had as great of a time connecting as we did!
