It's June and it's Pride month! This is a time to It's June and it's Pride month! This is a time to celebrate the diversity, resilience, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. At the MSK Library, we are committed to fostering inclusion, ensuring equitable access to health information, and creating a welcoming space where all identities are seen and valued. In honor of Pride, we're proud to share a thoughtful reflection from one of our former colleagues, Antonio DeRosa, a true advocate for authenticity and community. Celebrating Pride: Antonio DeRosa, Associate Director, Patient & Community Education, Marketing and Communication “That’s the beauty of the rainbow, right? Up close, the colors might clash or seem mismatched, but when you take a step back, you see something vibrant and beautiful.” For Antonio DeRosa, this perspective isn’t just a metaphor for Pride Month - it’s a reflection of how he lives and works every day. “Each of us brings our own experience and identity,” he continues, “and that deserves to be accepted and celebrated.” Antonio’s career has been shaped by curiosity, purpose, and a deep commitment to health equity. Guided by a passion for empowering communities through education, he has built a distinctive path at the crossroads of healthcare communication, information access, and inclusion. With a BA in English from SUNY New Paltz and an MS in library and information science from Pratt Institute, Antonio joined MSK in 2010, contributing across the library, editorial services, and radiology teams. After a brief time at Weill Cornell, he earned his EdD in educational leadership in healthcare administration from Aspen University in 2021—further grounding his mission to make health information more accessible, meaningful, and impactful. He returned to MSK that same year, bringing fresh insight and a continued passion for patient-centered education. In his current role, Antonio leads the development of accessible, inclusive educational materials for patients, caregivers, and the broader community. Link in Bio for full article!
