“At Lyra, what makes us unique isn't just tolerated, it is celebrated. We are empowered to challenge the status quo and explore new ways of thinking, as influenced by our intersectionality and lived experiences.”
“Being vulnerable and sharing our most personal stories is hard for anyone, but I'm a big believer in owning and sharing our struggles to show others it's OK to do the same so even one Lyrian can feel less alone and a sense of belonging and community in this complex world we live in.”
“It’s refreshing and encouraging to work in an environment where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is central to everything that we do. At Lyra, individual perspectives are valued, people are seen, communities are supported, and we all come together to drive our mission forward.”
