Queer educators are often told to stay silent about their identities—but what impact does that have on LGBTQ+ students? In this episode, we explore why visibility in education is more than just representation—it’s a lifeline.

In this episode, you will:
- Learn why queer educator visibility is crucial for LGBTQ+ students' well-being and confidence.
- Discover how to navigate fear and uncertainty while advocating for inclusive education.
- Gain actionable steps to create a safer, more affirming classroom without putting yourself at risk.
Press play now to hear why queer educators’ voices matter more than ever—and how you can be a source of hope and change in your classroom.
