Pride month is more than telling you this business is ally. It’s me telling you how proud I am of family and friends who are part of the community. From my aunts Cathy and Linda, who I observed during my childhood have one of the happiest relationships I’ve ever witnessed. To the loss of my friend Ken to AIDS in the late 80s. To my own child, nephews and nieces, and dear friends.
Sonjer B’s was built on the idea of being kind to everyone. Sometimes it’s with a simple smile and conversation, or providing leftovers to those who can’t afford a meal. To take a page from the Hard Rock Cafe “Love all. Serve all.“ I hope I truly live up to that each and every day.
This year, Sonjer B’s will participate at two pride events on the final weekend of June - Ye Olde Gay Fair in North Portland, and Beaverton’s Pride in the Park. I’ll be there with my free dad hugs shirt on. Be sure to stop by and share some kindness with me. Peace
