Not about leaders who happen to be gay, or overcoming our queerness to accomplish our goals, but about owning our queerness and being better off for it, and about leveraging that to help others in our community. Not success despite who we are, but because of it. Not gay charity, queer solidarity.

Or perhaps you identify more Asgardian than mutant?

Well, that's some of what exene discussed with marketing leader Taryn Talley on this episode of pink slingshot: the podcast.

They also hit on:

  • the limits of LinkedIn when it comes to queer-relevant content,
  • what it is that gives us an edge in our job search or leadership,
  • the importance of finding and connecting with "our kind",
  • and a lot more.
