Three years later, when another one of her children came out as trans, she found herself wishing there were a way she could connect with other parents who\u2019d had the same experience. \u201cI started talking to the people I was working with\u2014especially within the PRIDE Alliance PBRG. I said, \u2018You know, we really need something for parents, friends and loved ones\u2019 [of LGBTQ+ people].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after, Danielle\u2019s colleague in the U.S., Terrye Delmonte, mentioned to her that she worked alongside a colleague with a transgender son. Danielle remembers feeling an immediate sense of kinship and when she reached out to him, she found they had similar ideas. \u201cHe wanted to be an advocate, just like me,\u201d she recalls. \u201cWe all agreed, there was a need, and it was time to do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From there, FLOAT was born and has grown to nearly 60 members across 10 BMS locations, under Terrye\u2019s leadership. Aside from providing support, FLOAT offers resources and tools that have a meaningful impact throughout the company, like the Safe Zone Training program, an ally-training workshop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany parents have heard about FLOAT and raised their hands because they\u2019re in the same position, and they\u2019re not alone anymore,\u201d said Paul Shay, the global lead of PRIDE Alliance. \u201cIt\u2019s been a fantastic outcome for them from a support standpoint, and it&#8217;s been a fantastic outcome for PRIDE Alliance as well. There are a lot of parents who&#8217;ve gotten involved and used it as the catalyst to get more involved and support our efforts across the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Above all, Danielle sees FLOAT as a place where parents, loved ones and allies can share common experiences and learn from one another. When her children came out, she recalled feeling anxious that she might say the wrong thing and \u201cthat can have an impact on the support you give your loved ones,\u201d she said. Now she\u2019s hoping she can help other parents give their children the care and support they deserve, as quickly as possible. \u201cChildren don&#8217;t have time to wait for you,\u201d she emphasized. \u201cIt&#8217;s a life journey. I&#8217;m learning every day, and the more I learn, the more I realize I don&#8217;t know enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find this is a common trait among BMS employees\u2014staying curious to constantly learn and grow. And with PBRGs and sub-teams like FLOAT, our global workforce have endless opportunities to transform lives through leadership, allyship and kinship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s what humans do best,\u201d Danielle added. \u201cWe share information so that we can grow together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At BMS, you\u2019ll be on the cutting edge of powerful innovation with colleagues united in a mission to help patients.
