SoulCycle Live: Pride & Progress



July 8, 12–6:30pm ET


A virtual celebration meets community impact event, hosted live on Zoom.


Today, we’re proud to celebrate and amplify our Queer & BIPOC voices with Pride-themed workouts, mindful moments, and the launch of The Voices of SoulCycle: Our new panel discussion series—co-curated & led by our LGBTQ+ & BIPOC instructors.


Continue the conversation.

Intersectionality:

Intersectionality, Explained, Vox article 

Intersectionality Resources for LGBTQ+ people of color, Diverse & Resilient’s Room to Be Safe anti-violence program

Sharable Instagram post breaks down intersectionality among the BIPOC & Queer communities

How to make an impact with your profession:

Research how you can apply your skills to volunteer work. VolunteerMatch is a great place to start searching for opportunities, or you can begin a new initiative in your community.

Find ways to use your role to influence hiring practices and/or representation (i.e. recruiting/casting more diverse talent).

Become a mentor with organizations like Women Who Create.

How to be an ally in your workforce:

Urge your company to expand and amplify their DEI policies & practices. Research LGBTQ+ employee resources, like these from the Human Rights Campaign.


Urge your company to diversify their hiring policies & practices. A good place to begin is with #HireBlack—a movement started to help 10,000 Black womxn get trained, hired, and promoted.

Join or organize internal DEI groups or meetings.


Talk to your BIPOC & Queer coworkers. What do they feel is missing from the workplace? How can you help advocate for them?
