On Sunday, Michaela Ivri Mendelsohn will ride down Santa Monica Boulevard as grand marshal of the 2018 LA Pride Parade.  Mendelsohn, CEO of Pollo West Group and Founder of TransCanWork, is a longtime LGBT activist and community leader.

“We are thrilled to have Michaela Mendelsohn, a long-time activist and respected trans woman in business today, as this year’s LA Pride Parade Grand Marshal,” said Estevan Montemayor, CSW Board President. “Michaela has been a strong LGBTQ+ advocate, especially by working to boost the hiring and inclusion of trans people in the workplace.”
