Hi there,
Melanie here, Founder and CEO of Andie.
I’m writing to wish you a happy Pride month! When my wife, Leah, and I started Andie, we envisioned creating a company that embraces diversity and promotes inclusivity in every aspect. That vision is deeply personal for us, as it’s rooted in our own story. We have a beautiful daughter, and we are eagerly expecting our second child later this year.
Your support has been instrumental in helping Andie grow into a company that empowers women to feel confident and comfortable in their swimwear. As we continue to expand, our commitment to diversity and inclusion remains steadfast. We believe that diverse perspectives make us stronger and that inclusivity at all levels of our company — from our team to our community of customers — is essential.
Our family is a constant reminder of why celebrating Pride and fostering a diverse and inclusive world is so important. We want our children to grow up in a world where they see themselves reflected in successful leaders and companies. A world where all people, regardless of their background, gender, or who they love, can lead and thrive in whatever path they choose.
This Pride Month, we invite you to join us in celebrating and supporting the causes that matter most. Here are a few ways you can get involved:
- Attend Pride Events: Show your solidarity and embrace the spirit of love and acceptance by participating in local Pride parades, events, or fundraisers.
- Advocate for Equality: Stand up against discrimination and promote inclusivity in your own circles. By using your voice, you can help create a more equitable and accepting society for all.
For those in New York, I'll see you on the parade route! For everyone else, thank you as always for your continued support. Together, we are building a world where everyone can see examples of diversity and leadership at all levels.
I hope you have many happy adventures in your Andie swimwear this summer!
With gratitude,
Melanie Founder & CEO
