This #PrideMonth, we're joining with YWCA USA to celebrate women advocating for the rights of LGBTQIA+ community. Author and activist Angela Davis is internationally known for her work to confront all forms of oppression in the US and abroad. She has consistently worked to dismantle oppression faced by the Black community, women and the LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️🌈

On Tuesday, our team visited the Sweetest Place on Earth and had a blast with coworkers, family and friends at our annual Staff Retreat. The weather was beautiful and it was a great reminder that while the work we do can be difficult, finding time for self care is important. Our team had a great time and that this was a great kickoff to summer! #hersheypark #hersheyparkhappy #ChocolateWorld #StaffRetreat
