This Pride Month, Skittles is teaming up with critically acclaimed historian, author, educator, and influencer Blair Imani to celebrate and support the 2SLGBTQIA+ community with Skittles QueeR Codes and original murals across the country. A series of murals will be on display throughout the month, each of which expresses what the rainbow means to 2SLGBTQIA+ artists, influencers, and creators and how they celebrate Pride.
Each mural also includes a QueeR Code that can be scanned to connect to content and stories from artists and 2SLGBTQIA+ creators. Some of the 2SLGBTQIA+ artists and creators who are featured in the program include Puerto Rican artist ARRRTADDICT, queer southern artist Sara Moroni and Los Angeles-based Ayan the Makeup Mariachi.
