Biden to sign Respect for Marriage Act, reflecting his and the country's evolution

In support of equality, love and diversity we are celebrating the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act- a fundamental human right to love, honor and cherish whoever you choose til death do you part.
❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

The bill signing comes after months of work on Capitol Hill and years of changed attitudes — even as the threat looms that the conservative Supreme Court could roll back same-sex marriage rights.

Last week Corie and Felicia represented WOC at the Unconventional Women’s Conference in San Juan Capistrano where they had the opportunity to meet DEI professionals from a wide range of industries and backgrounds.

“These sorts of events can always be a little nerve-racking at first but we both felt so welcomed and immediately found our footing (thanks to a platter of vodka, tequila and whiskey shots at the entrance – all from women-owned brands too). It was an excellent opportunity for us to continue expanding our professional network and learn the many ways companies can positively impact minority-owned businesses.” - Felicia W.

P.S. Did anyone notice that Corie is rocking our (W)right On branded colors?
