Pinterest Holiday Guide

You know Pinterest is the place to get inspired about everything. This is why the social network has a whole article about Halloween and how you can make the most out of it.

Here’s what David Murphy, co-chair of PIndigenous, the indigenous employee community at Pinterest, claims:

“As a platform for positivity, Pinterest always remembers that cultures aren’t costumes. So, for that reason, we encourage Pinners to continue to find culturally appropriate Halloween inspiration and bring awareness to the fact that costumes should never be opportunities to turn a person’s identity into a stereotyped image. If we all work together, we can find a fun, uplifting way to celebrate this day.”
