We want to empower our Zalando LGBTQI+ community through portraying voices from within. By empowering and amplifying these unique voices of the community, we believe we can inspire more people to express themselves and feel empowered throughout the year.
Together we explore how Pierre, Simone, and Sebastian's understanding and acceptance of their identities have evolved over time. They talk about coming out to oneself and others, highlighting the struggles faced along the way, as well as celebrating personal achievements and the concept of queer euphoria—moments of joy and empowerment in one's identity.
