Cold weather + hot cocoa = instant happiness ❄️🍫

This past week, Persad’s hot chocolate holiday bar for our team has been the ultimate cozy treat—loaded with toppings, warm mugs, and of course, whipped cream! During these cold yinzer days, nothing beats a delicious cup of cocoa with great people! 🎄✨

Some people are gay. Some are straight. Some are trans, nonbinary, bi, ace, pan — and just like being left-handed, none of it needs defending, explaining, or apologizing for. 🌈

You were never meant to blend into someone else’s expectations. You were meant to exist boldly, fully, and truthfully — without shrinking to make the world more comfortable.

If you’ve ever wondered “Why am I like this?” — the answer is simple: because this world was never meant to be one-sided. Diversity isn’t the exception — it’s the design.

At Persad Center, we believe being LGBTQ+ isn’t a phase, a choice, or a problem — it’s a natural expression of humanity. And you deserve community, care, and connection that honors every part of who you are.

💭 You’re not alone. You’re not a mistake.
You’re exactly who you’re supposed to be.

🎁💜 Spreading Joy, One Gift at a Time

At Persad, our clients are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we were so excited to host our Client Gift Giveaway—a small way to say a big thank you for being a part of the Persad family.

Because of the generosity of our supporters and partners, we were able to share thoughtful gifts that bring a little extra comfort, care, and joy to our clients.

It's moments like these that remind us that connection, kindness, and showing up for one another truly matter.

We’re honored to support our community—not just with therapy sessions, but in everyday moments that make people feel seen and valued. 💜
