Growing up in a Filipino-American family, Christopher Hayden Cox was taught to be proud of who he is and where he comes from. And that’s the root of Pride Month for the clinical research nurse at Baylor College of Medicine.
On June 24, Baylor College of Medicine employees spent the afternoon volunteering at the Law Harrington Senior Living Center, an LGBTQ-affirming senior living center, located in the heart of Houston’s Third Ward.
Celebrating LGBTQ+ pride has not been the same during the pandemic, said first-year medical student JP Nguyen. What was missing? The party.
Third-year medical student Martavius Lovall devoted a lot of time and energy to Baylor’s involvement in this summer’s Pride Festival and Parade in downtown Houston, and there was one particular moment that filled him with, well, pride.
