Music Minute - Laurie Berkner: I'm Proud

Beloved children's musician Laurie Berkner's new single, "I'm Proud," is out now, in honor of Pride Month.

Sometimes it’s enough to know in our hearts that we’re loveable, and sometimes we all need a little help to remember that. Laurie Berkner’s “I’m Proud” carries a compelling message: “I’m proud of me, and I’m proud of you.”

“I'm so proud to share this song! I wrote 'I’m Proud' because I believe, as the song says, that 'We all deserve to be proud," says Laurie Berkner. "And I hope that listening to and singing this song will help kids feel that way as well."

"I'm Proud" is featured on Laurie's upcoming album, Walking With The Penguins, which will be released on June 26, 2026.

Net proceeds from "I'm Proud" will go to support Callen-Lorde, a global leader in LGBTQ+ healthcare. Since the days of Stonewall, Callen-Lorde has been transforming lives in LGBTQ+ communities through excellent comprehensive care, provided free of judgment and regardless of ability to pay. In addition, Callen-Lorde is continuously pioneering research, advocacy and education to drive positive change around the world, because they believe healthcare is a human right.
