Hearst UK has unveiled the Proud To Be Me initiative in partnership with Munroe Bergdorf, tackling 'critical issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community' whilst 'committing to increasing positive LGBTQ+ activity across Hearst UK brand platforms over the next 12 months - inviting voices from the community to be heard, supported and celebrated'.

The initiative will launch through a virtual In Conversation with activist, model and writer Bergdorf, exploring 'why authentic representation and inclusion in media is so important and how brands can be better allies to the LGBTQ+ community through partnerships', on March 25.
