Our 2025 Pride shirts are here, illustrated by DMV-based artist Helena Wu! We’re donating $10 in proceeds from every shirt sold in June to one of our local LGBTQIA+ community organizations, @aliforneycenter 🏳️🌈
The Ali Forney Center is the nation’s largest non-profit providing shelter and healthcare services to LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness in New York City. Committed to saving the lives of LGBTQ+ and at-risk young people, the center’s mission is to protect them from the harms of homelessness and empower them with the tools needed to live independently.
About the artist: Helena is a Rockville, Maryland-based freelance illustrator whose work features dreamy colors and nature-inspired vibes across video games, product design, and local art markets throughout the DMV region. She actively engages with the local art scene, frequently tabling at markets throughout Baltimore and the DMV area. Helena’s been climbing since 2016 as a boulderer at heart, though she’ll always offer to clean up sport anchors just to spend a little longer on the wall. She previously worked on the @movementgymsdmv Movement Rockville Murals in 2023, always trying to merge her artistic and climbing hobbies together. This year, she was given the opportunity to create a fun, dynamic graphic to showcase the vibrancy of the queer climbing community for this year’s Pride design, reflecting her love for finding new ways to subtly celebrate queer identity and explore gender expression. 🌈
