Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Aversa PR celebrates being one of Philadelphia’s top out, proud and loud LGBTQ owned businesses.

We are so honored to have the opportunity to use our skills and passion to raise up LGBTQ businesses and voices across the great states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. And we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate Philly’s biggest pride month ever than with a trip to DC with other LGBTQ owned business, leaders and content creators from across the USA.

Back when we started times were different and that’s why this day means so much to us. They said you couldn’t open a business and come out of the closet. They said keep your personal life a secret. They said keep this fundamental part of who we are to ourselves and hide who we are. They said make up stories to blend and fit in. And they definitely said don’t post about it on social media.

Our reply was simple: No, no and no.

And now over a decade later we are so glad we stayed authentic, stayed true to ourselves and we are helping those people and small businesses find their own way and path.

Thanks for being part of this important journey with us - thanks for celebrating this moment - and thanks for continuing to help us not just do PR but for helping us change our city and state.

And huge thanks for helping us champion all the voices that need raising up.

We are honored and look forward to continuing to do what we love and be who we are. ❤️
