Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) Pride Month is celebrated annually in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. Today, celebrations include parades, picnics, parties, workshops and more - unifying millions of participants around the world for a month of solidarity. Not only is Pride Month a time to celebrate diverse backgrounds and unique experiences, but also a time to recognize the worldwide impact and accomplishments that LGBTQIA+ individuals have had and continue to have.
每年6月，我們慶祝一次女同志、男同志、雙性、跨性別、酷兒、性別酷兒群體的華麗和多彩。來自世界各地經過遊行、野餐、派對、工作坊等方式的數百萬人受邀參加這個月的團結。驕傲月不僅是慶祝多樣化背景和獨特經歷的時刻，也是時刻銘記LGBTQIA+成員所取得的世界性影響和成就的時刻。
This year's NYC Pride theme is "Reflect, Empower and Unite". To honor this month and our people, we're amplifying the voices of those in the LBGTQIA+ community who are growing their careers at Taco Bell.
今年紐約市驕傲節的主題是“反思、授權和團結”。爲了慶祝這一月，並向我們的人民紀念，我們正在放大那些在Taco Bell成長職業的LBGTQIA+社區的聲音。
Margaret got her start with Yum! 34 years ago when she was hired as an assistant general manager at Taco Bell's sister brand, Pizza Hut.
34年前，Margaret在被聘爲塔可鍾姐妹品牌比薩小屋的一名助理總經理時開始了她的職業生涯。
"After carrying out my responsibilities as General Manager for many Pizza Hut locations, I was placed at the busiest restaurant in Canada at the time located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. It was here where I won an award for the highest volume sales in Pizza Hut Canada and the runner up for the profitability award."
“在我爲許多Pizza Hut餐廳擔任總經理的職責後，我被分配到當時位於加拿大安大略省尼亞加拉瀑布的最繁忙的餐廳。在此，我贏得了Pizza Hut Canada銷售量最高獎和贏利獎的亞軍。”
Onto the next adventure, Margaret made her way to KFC (another sister brand to Taco Bell) Canada where she took care of all their license restaurant locations, which are usually those in movie theaters, gas stations and grocery stores. She made some fond memories as she experienced new cultures while opening KFCs in the country.
接下來的冒險，Margaret走到KFC（塔可鐘的另一個姐妹品牌）加拿大，照顧他們所有的許可餐廳：通常是電影院、加油站和雜貨商店等地方。在這個國家開設KFC時，她留下了一些美好的回憶。
"One of the coolest places I got to travel to was Northern Canada where the Inuit tribal community lives. Chicken was very popular with the community and they often asked people flying to the bigger cities to bring buckets of chicken to them via plane. It was a no brainer to open a location there!"
“我到過的最酷的地方之一是其居住着伊努伊特部落社區的加拿大北部地區。雞肉在社區中非常流行，他們經常要求坐飛往大城市的人通過飛機將桶裝雞肉帶給他們。在那裏開設一家餐廳是一件理所當然的事情！”
After changing roles and working as a KFC Franchise Operations Consultant for 12 years, Margaret then made her way over to Taco Bell in 2016 to work in Operations. Now, as Manager of Operations, Margaret primarily supports the field a.k.a. restaurants, above restaurant leaders and franchisees.
在擔任KFC特許經營顧問12年後，Margaret於2016年轉到Taco Bell擔任運營工作。現在，作爲運營經理，Margaret主要支持現場即餐廳、餐廳領導人和特許經營商。
"The Canadian Taco Bell team wears several hats. My field-facing role revolves around making sure restaurants continue to meet the Brand standards and drive sales. At the same time, I have a corporate-facing role where I oversee the data behind the programs we take part in, such as Golden Bell. The unique thing about my job is that I get to collaborate with different departments. From being part of marketing campaigns (doing voiceovers for TikTok) to looking at new restaurant development drawings, I'm in touch with all parts of the business."
“加拿大塔可鍾團隊需要扮演多重角色。我的工作需要關注餐廳是否滿足品牌標準和銷售情況。同時，我還要擔任公司管理方面的角色，監督我們參與的項目的數據，例如Golden Bell等。我的工作最獨特之處在於能夠與不同的部門合作。從參與營銷活動（爲TikTok做配音）到查看新餐廳開發圖紙，我與企業的所有部分保持聯繫。”
Not only does Margaret find Taco Bell to be a place where she can do what she loves, but also a place where she can be herself, once she figured out what that meant.
Margaret發現Taco Bell不僅是她可以做自己喜歡的地方，也是她可以做自己的地方。
"My journey of finding myself was not as simple. I was married to my ex-husband for seven years and then engaged to another man before realizing my true feelings. Then, in September 2009, I married my beautiful wife, Nadine. I was scared and nervous to tell my parents, but the great news is that they ended up accepting us. The same way Taco Bell welcomed me with open arms when I joined the Brand."
“找尋自己的旅程並不簡單。在結婚後，我與前夫生活了七年，之後與另一名男子訂婚，才意識到我的真實感受。然後，2009年9月，與我的美麗妻子Nadine結婚。告訴我的父母是令人害怕和緊張的，但好消息是他們最終接受了我們。加入品牌時，Taco Bell也是這樣接受我們我。”
In 2009, Margaret was diagnosed with breast cancer, which was another challenge she had to overcome.
2009年，Margaret被診斷出患有乳腺癌，這是她必須克服的另一個挑戰。
"I am proud of my journey, for it led me to who I am today. Cancer made me realize that yesterday is gone, tomorrow is never promised and to live for today. This means being the best version of yourself every day. [It] was tough, but I could not have done this without the support of my wife."
“我對我的經歷感到自豪，因爲這使我成爲了今天的我。癌症讓我意識到昨天已經過去，明天永遠不會到來，只有今天值得活得更好。這意味着每天都要成爲自己的最佳版本。 [它]很艱難，但沒有我的妻子的支持，我無法做到這一點。”
Now, Margret continues her professional and personal journey with the support of her wife, sister-in-law, and transgender nephew. So, when asked about her legacy, Margaret says the following:
現在，Margret在妻子、姐妹和跨性別的侄子的支持下繼續着她的職業和個人之旅。所以，當被問到她的遺產時，Margaret說道：
"I just want people to be inspired to do what's right and have integrity and trust. I want to motivate those around me to be their authentic self, no matter how they identify or love. And when it comes to Yum!, I hope I'm remembered for the positive impact I had on the people I worked with, because it's not the title on your business card that matters, it's the legacy you leave at the Brand."
“我只是想鼓勵人們做正確的事情，並具有誠信和信任。我希望激勵周圍的人成爲他們真正的自我，不管他們如何認同或愛。當談到Yum!時，我希望人們記住我對我與之共事的人們產生積極影響的事情，因爲決定你在品牌上留下的不是你名片上的頭銜，而是你的遺產。”
