193 - Pride Month is coming up. For the entire month of June, the LGBTQ+ community celebrates the freedom to be themselves.
You might be tempted to post an image on Instagram of a dog with a rainbow bandana and proclaim yourself to be LGTBQ+ friendly. #ally #pridemonth #equality #loveislove
Please don't do that, says Lisa Peterson of Pawsh Photography in Minneapolis, my guest on this week's episode of the Hair of the Dog podcast.
Lisa, a member of the LGBTQ+ community, shares her unique insights and experiences as a gay woman, shedding light on the importance of inclusive marketing strategies from posting about Pride Month to website language and model calls to diversify your portfolio.
What to listen for
4:58 How we develop unconscious biases toward different communities
11:50 How Lisa broke out of her blissful lack of awareness
13:46 Why it's vital to be consistent and respectful of the LGBTQ+ community
16:04 How to conduct a model call to make your portfolio more inclusive
23:19 How (not) to pose gay couples
This is such an important conversation, one that touches my heart deeply. Lisa gives us some tips that will not only make us more inclusive as pet photographers but also help us be better humans in general.
