“It’s always empowering to see people come out and celebrate their heritage, we get a lot of support on social media, and there are people who live in Georgia, Canada, Trinidad and Tobago or Guyana - and they’re able to connect with us and live their truth through the work doing in New York,” said Amin. He also says that seeing marchers, particularly newcomers, was the highlight of the walk because it pushes forth more self-love and provides hidden LGBT members with some encouragement. “We encouraged people to come dressed in cultural clothing and seeing people follow this theme was very nice.”
“For us what was memorable was this being the largest we’ve ever assembled, and we did it in one of the most prideful and demonstrative ways, showing off our Indo and Afro Caribbean cultures,” said Amin.
