Emily Cook, 24 & Caryn Viverito, 25
Washington, D.C.
Together for one and half years.
“We both believe in not wasting your energy on negativity or self-suppression. Express yourself freely and do what makes you happy. We feel so fortunate to have met each other and to have found such a beautiful connection. Our favorite thing about pride is riding around on the Phase 1 float! It’s such an awesome way to experience the parade. It’s impossible not to feel proud of our community.”
