It’s never a slow day for Parisi, whose team has launched several internationally distributed TV shows, investigations and a documentary over the past year. Parisi co-chair’s the OUT@NBC employee resource group and oversees the production and broadcast of heritage month celebration videos featuring diverse C-level leaders sharing candid stories of their personal and professional journeys. When it comes to organizations he’d like to highlight for their advocacy, two come to mind: “The Point Foundation for the life-changing scholarship programs it offers to LGBTQ+ students and the Ali Forney Center for the life-saving services the organization delivers to homeless LGBTQ+ youth,” he says.
