This Pride, Long’s is continuing its partnership with BAGLY – a Boston-based youth-led, adult-supported organization committed to the development of programs, policies and services for the LGBTQ+ youth community.  

Together with BAGLY, we hope to promote our shared belief in the importance of being yourself and creating spaces throughout Boston where our LGBTQ+ youth community can feel not only safe, but also brave and empowered.

Jenna (she/her)

“The geode cufflinks were so playful to me; I love that they are able to help blend my typically femme style with a traditionally masculine piece of jewelry. I also loved the rainbow color sapphire ring – this symbolizes a commitment and all of the successes we’ve had with legal rights to gay marriage, it’s important to celebrate the rights that we haven’t always had.”

Jenna recently joined the BAGLY team as Director of Operations and Finance and through her role and involvement in the community has enjoyed being able to educate and support the staff in a way that truly feels authentic in her leadership position.
