Pride has always held complexity.

There’s the joy, the celebration, the glitter. But there’s also the grief, the fear, and the fight for safety still ongoing for so many in our LGBTQ+ community.

This year, especially, everything feels louder. More intense. Harder to ignore. Anti-LGBTQ+ laws are rising. Trans folks are being targeted. The truth is, safety is still not a given for many of us.

So, how do we move through Pride this year? With care. With intention. And with the tools to show up not just for others, but for ourselves as well.

That’s what we do at CINTIMA. And that’s what this moment calls for.

The Kind of Care That Changes Things

At CINTIMA, we teach people how to lead with presence, with consent, and with deep listening. Yes, this is often seen on film sets and in rehearsal rooms. However, it also manifests in everyday life. In how we speak to each other. How would we check in? How we notice harm and respond with love, clarity, and boundaries.

Because care isn’t passive, it’s not just a vibe.

Care is a practice. A set of tools. A readiness.

What Our Students Carry With Them

When someone trains with us, they walk away with more than a title. They leave with a practice that they carry into every room, every scene, every moment.

Here’s just some of what they learn:

• Consent frameworks that honor the full “yes,” the sacred “no,” and everything in between

• Understanding power dynamics, and how to move with not over people

• Trauma-informed care, because we never know what someone is holding

• Bystander intervention and anti-harassment strategies, because silence helps no one

• Mental Health First Aid certification, to meet emotional needs in real time

• DEI integration, not just in theory but in real, embodied practice
  
  
  

This isn’t fluff. These are fundamental tools for navigating real harm and cultivating real healing.

Pride Isn’t Just About Visibility—It’s About Protection

We celebrate this month because we deserve joy. And we also acknowledge that not everyone feels safe enough to be seen. That’s real.

Pride can be beautiful and brutal. We can hold space for both. At CINTIMA, we aim to provide a comprehensive support system that encompasses education, tools, and community.

Whether you're on a set or just walking through the world, this work helps you move differently. More thoughtfully. More safely. For yourself and others.

A Few Tools to Hold Close This Pride

If the world feels heavy or chaotic, you’re not alone. Here are a few grounding reminders to carry with you:

• You don’t have to earn your rest. You deserve it.

• Ask before assuming. In words, touch, and energy, let people tell you what they need.

• Your “no” is a complete sentence. Period.

• You don’t have to fix everything. Sometimes, just showing up fully present is enough.

• Community is protection. Keep reaching for it.
