San Diego Women’s Chorus was honored to participate in Poway’s Pride Resource Fair on June 29th, 2024. This annual event celebrates the LGBTQ+ community in the San Diego County city of Poway. Over the years, Poway’s Pride Resource Fair has grown into a cherished tradition, and SDWC’s participation has become an integral part of that celebration. Performing at this event aligns deeply with SDWC’s mission to promote social justice, inclusivity, and empowerment through music.
A Heartfelt Performance
For Poway’s Pride Resource Fair in 2024, SDWC staffed an information table and performed for the community. The response from the audience was so supportive, with many joining in to sing along, wave their Pride flags, and celebrate the spirit of the event. The sense of connection between SDWC’s performers and the crowd is always a highlight of our community singing opportunities, creating a moment of unity that underscores the significance of the event.
Aligning with Our Mission
SDWC’s participation in Poway Pride is about more than just a performance. It’s an opportunity to live out the group’s mission of using music as a tool for social change. As a chorus made up of diverse singers, many of whom identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, SDWC is deeply committed to fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion. Events like Poway’s Pride Resource Fair provide a platform to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues.
By participating in community events like Poway’s Pride Resource Fair, SDWC is able to reach new audiences and bring its message of empowerment and equality to people across San Diego County. For the chorus, being invited to perform at such events is both a privilege and a responsibility. It’s a chance to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, not just through song, but through shared values and a commitment to advocating for justice.
A Strong Partnership with Poway
Poway’s Pride Resource Fair is a smaller, community-focused event compared to San Diego’s larger Pride celebrations, but its impact is no less significant. It offers a space for LGBTQ+ individuals and their allies in the Poway area to come together and celebrate their identities in a safe and welcoming environment. SDWC’s involvement in Poway’s Pride Resource Fair over the years has helped build a strong relationship between the chorus and the Poway community.
For SDWC, it’s important to extend our reach beyond the urban center of San Diego and bring the message of pride and inclusion to communities throughout the region. Our Poway Pride Resource Fair 2024 performance was another step in strengthening these connections.
Looking Forward
SDWC is proud to have been part of Poway’s Pride Resource Fair in 2024 and looks forward to continuing our participation in this and similar events in the future. It’s through these opportunities that we can bring our message of unity, love, and justice to life. We’re grateful for the ongoing support of our audience, members, and allies, and we will continue to use our voices to uplift and inspire for years to come.
