URGENT UPDATE: The ABC7 Pride Collection has just launched, directly supporting AIDS Walk Los Angeles and APLA Health. This initiative allows you to showcase your pride while contributing to vital health services in the community. Now is the time to shop at abc7.com/shop and make a difference!
Every purchase from the ABC7 Pride Collection helps raise funds for crucial HIV/AIDS support and awareness programs. The collection features stunning designs by local artists, including Corinne Pulsinelle, also known as Coco Nella, whose vibrant murals reflect a deep love for community. Her art is prominently displayed across Los Angeles, including a mural at the Lululemon store in the Americana, Glendale.
Joining her is Mike Habs, a passionate artist who transitioned to full-time painting just two years ago. His t-shirt design embodies the spirit of the Pride rainbow, infusing it with new energy and enthusiasm. Habs emphasizes the importance of radical acceptance, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique identities.
Additionally, Ricky Sencion has spent over a decade creating his iconic pink sheep series, inspired by fashion legend Alexander McQueen’s notion of being a “pink sheep.” Sencion’s work celebrates individuality and joy, resonating with the LGBTQ+ community.
Incorporating diverse art forms, Marisabel Bazan, a Panamanian artist based in Los Angeles, enriches the collection with her butterfly designs. To Bazan, butterflies symbolize evolution and transformation, echoing the journey of the LGBTQ+ community.
ABC7 will donate its proceeds from the sale of these items to support various charities and non-profit organizations in the five-county viewing area. This collaboration highlights the urgent need for community solidarity and support during Pride Month and beyond.
With the AIDS Walk LA just around the corner, now is the perfect time to contribute while expressing your pride. Don’t miss this opportunity to wear your support and make a tangible impact. Visit abc7.com/shop to explore the full collection and show your pride all year long.
