In Celebration of Pride Month – The Spice Girls Show Us How To Live Our Best Life For Charity

What an exciting time for the month of June as there is plenty of excitement in the air to celebrate diversity, equality, providing dedicated support and encouragement to the LGBTQIA + community. Offering her support, Fashion Designer and formerly Posh Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has produced fun merchandise to spice up this month of Pride.

A time to come together as it marks the acceptance of sexual diversity in all shapes and forms. A chance for everyone to embrace who they are, their feelings, fears or even shame they face about their race, nationality, appearance, gender or sexual orientation. More importantly, it symbolises our society to live our best life and do what we feel is right for each and everyone of us. Beckham and the girls join forces to launch a special edition of charity t-shirts and purses to represent the notion of everyone “Living your best life”.

For these products, using the band’s 1996 global phenomenon and first number one hit song, representing Girl Power – Wannabe, Beckham has utilised the name of the iconic single and inscribed the wording in Pride rainbow colours on t-shirts and purses stating the catchy slogan “Proud and Wannabe your lover”.

Sporting the Girl Power purse and t-shirts is a way of offering your utmost support as well as the profits going towards the incredible dedication and hard work portrayed by the Albert Kennedy Trust in funding and doing all they can in making a stand oppose to LGBTQIA + the rising of youth homelessness in the UK.

“Pride to me is a celebration of being completely yourself and this year’s T-shirt is a reminder of that. “The Spice Girls really championed accepting yourself and others, being kind, having fun and just living your best life”, explains Beckham.

There is a lot to be said about the event of Pride as every country celebrates the event differently. With that in mind, we constantly continue to celebrate and cherish this event in the month of June as it marks as a reminder and speaking highly of those who were in the clutches of it all in the Stonewall Riots of New York in 1969, viewed as a spur-of-the-moment demonstration among the gay community.

In current times, it marks the day of getting everyone involved and joining in the festivities. The Stonewall Riots could only be described as once a pivotal and crucial demonstration in history. Shaping the LGBTQIA community to what it is like today, we have the chance to embrace who we are openly and express ourselves to the world in SPICE style.
