A Great Idea

For B2B businesses specifically, it's about fostering meaningful relationships with LGBTQ+ business owners, employees, and the wider community. AGI Founder and Advocacy Expert, Shane Lukas, offers a guide on how to cultivate authentic relationships with the LGBTQ+ community and build a network of advocates.

Let's grow...together! Every holiday season is a time to express gratitude for the past and a reminder to imagine what's possible. While this new year promises to be one where the need to recognize, elevate, and commit to community-centric approaches, nurturing and investing in community-informed solutions will always an essential way our many movements toward equity, towards fulfillment, toward joy for all people will grow. To share this message with our nonprofit, healthcare, and education partners across the country, we connected with the talented young artist Nikita Yogaraj, a self-described "tamil-american queer + neurodiverse printmaker" to commission them to illustrate and block print each of our cards - and to make our point, we also arranged for them to be printed on seed paper that—if you have more green thumbs than we tend to!—will blossom as wildflowers this spring. We're into that. We must grow together, and great joy grows with community. AGI will celebrate 10 years in 2025. In that time, we have been gifted years of opportunities to develop community-informed creative solutions to advance transformative partners across the country. We believe in their desire to enact a world that is better, and we believe in all WE can do together to build a better future for all people to thrive. Wishing everyone a new year of solidarity, strength, and the community necessary to get beyond the struggles and build what's possible! —Shane Lukas, MBA and the team at A Great Idea
