Boston Pride Parade 2025

Walgreens was a sponsor in today's Pride parade. They do it every year but this year was able to put in more money then they ever have considering the conditions. They paid for all of us to walk in the parade and give out free necklace beads, hand sanitizer and wild berry beeswax lip balm! It was such a hoot! We all got T shirts and I met the funniest people! It was epic! I can't wait to do it again next year! We were right in between Nordstrom and Sephora and I got a bunch of free make up! Super fun day! Very peaceful, very proud,very bright even though we were being rained on!#proudemployee #walgreens #bostonpride2025 ##bostonprideforthepeople #bostonusa #bostonprideparade #prideparade #freedomforall #protecttranskids #transjoy #transgender #gaypride #protest #bostonproud Starts to Sing " I'm beautiful in My own way, Cause God makes no mistakes, I'm on the right track baby I was born this way! #ladygaga
