Pride Month and ThinkSelf
Pride is Power. Pride is Community. Pride is Ours.
This Pride Month, we uplift the brilliance, strength, and joy of LGBTQIA+ communities—especially Deaf, DeafBlind, and hard of hearing individuals whose experiences exist at the rich intersections of language, culture, and identity.
Pride isn’t just a party. It’s a legacy of resistance, of pushing back against exclusion, and of showing up for one another. We honor the trailblazers who fought for our rights and visibility—and we commit to continuing that fight by creating spaces where every identity is affirmed and protected.
To our Deaf queer, trans, and nonbinary community members:
We see you. We celebrate you. We stand with you. 💜✊
As always, ThinkSelf will be showing up with love and purpose at Twin Cities Pride! You’ll find us at the Cornerstone/Day One booth—stop by to say hi, grab some swag, and connect with folks from both our organizations.

ThinkSelf Brings Remote Interpreting Support Group Access to Brainerd!
Last week, the ThinkSelf team traveled to beautiful Brainerd to partner with Relationship Safety Alliance (RSA) in an exciting step toward accessible support for all. Together, we installed and demonstrated a new Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) setup designed specifically for support group settings. This technology ensures Deaf survivors can participate fully in healing spaces—without barriers, without delay. We’re proud to collaborate with RSA to bring equitable, trauma-informed services to greater Minnesota.
If this is something you are interested in learning more about or implementing for your own groups, please reach out today!
