Did you know that Rhode Island is ranked among the top states that support the LGBTQ+ community? Our neighbors Massachusetts, Connecticut, as well as New York, Oregon, and California, also make this list. That makes me proud. This growth has been evolving over the past century.

I recall being judged by the way I dressed. I was heavily influenced by music and my attire was a representation of that. I had a period of time when I dressed like the others in my junior class. This feeling of wanting to fit made me miserable. Is this relatable? Dressing with the trends […]
If you have been a craft beer lover over this past decade, you may remember when the first Rhode Island Brewery Passport was released. It was changed to an app in 2020. Six years later, it is reverting to a physical passport. Why did it change from booklet, to app, and soon back to booklet? […]
