Diana Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of Pride Live, is a prominent LGBTQ+ activist dedicated to making a difference through fundraising and advocacy. In this episode of the Women on the Move podcast, with host Sam Saperstein, she discusses her journey and the impact of Pride Live, which supports marginalized LGBTQIA+ organizations and initiatives like the Stonewall National Monument and Stonewall Day concert.

Her career includes fundraising roles at the Clinton and Jackie Robinson Foundations before co-founding Pride Live. Diana emphasizes the importance of learning from every opportunity, whether positive or negative. Her tenure at renowned non-profit organizations taught her about the necessity of being prepared and resilient.

She stresses the need for women, especially women of color, to possess these qualities and embrace discomfort. Transitioning from working behind the scenes to leading Pride Live was challenging, but Diana embraced the discomfort of being the organization's face and voice.

Today, Diana thrives in her role, supported by a talented team, compassionate board, and engaged funders. She believes in creating opportunities for others and continues to push for greater awareness and support for the LGBTQ+community.
