Data Pride
#DataPride today, and every day. We’re almost halfway through Pride Month, and there are still plenty of ways to celebrate our diverse community. Join us!
Explore the Tableau Public Pride Viz Gallery which highlights visualizations that honor, recognize, and tell the stories and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community through data.
Attend our Data + Diversity event on Thursday, June 29th at 9am PT as we examine the intersection of data and human rights and celebrate our LGBTQ+ community.
Participate in a Tableau Community challenge:
- Back 2 Viz Basics has 2 recent data viz challenges in collaboration with the Data Pride Tableau User Group.
- Analyze the locations of the “YOU ARE LOVED” billboards through a map challenge. These billboards were first created by Rae Senarighi for FairWisconsin and GSafe, two Wisconsin organizations working for LGBTQ+ rights throughout the state. Today, they are spread across 300 locations.
- Build a table using Lambda Literary Awards Finalists & Winners. The Lambda Literary Awards, also known as the “Lammys,” are prestigious literary awards that recognize and celebrate outstanding works of literature that explore LGBTQ+ themes, experiences, and identities across various genres, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and more.
- Diversity in Data is visualizing LGBTQ+ representation in film this month using a number of smaller data sets which includes a breakdown of sex and ethnicity.

Community Highlight
To recognize new and consistent Tableau contributors—we’re excited to have a section within the weekly DataFam Roundup called the Tableau Community Highlight. Find out how to get involved.
Colleen Hayes, Senior Data Consultant at Continuus Technologies
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Colleen Hayes is a Senior Data Consultant at Continuus Technologies. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others and does so by being an active member and presenter at the Milwaukee and Madison Tableau User Groups.
After being limited in her resources for learning Tableau, Colleen began getting involved in the Tableau Community. She was inspired by the depth and breadth of solutions available. If she ran into a problem she couldn’t solve, she knew someone had already found a solution to it. She has also been guided in her work by Tableau Public, some of her best work has been inspired from vizzes that she has seen published by other authors.
One of Colleen’s personal goals is to publish at least one viz per month on Tableau Public this year. Her goal is inspired by her desire to keep challenging herself to learn new things and she plans to pull from her “viz ideas list” to visualize things that relate to her hobbies and interests like her beer check-ins on Untappd. Follow along with Colleen on Tableau Public.
Connect with Colleen on Linkedin, Twitter, and Tableau Public.
