In this powerful and timely episode of The Equity Hour, Dr. Tami welcomes powerhouse educators Drs. Bre & Kia to discuss what it really means to create safe, affirming schools for trans and gender-creative youth.
With honesty, warmth, and lived wisdom, the trio digs into the story behind Bre and Kia’s new book, T*is for Thriving, which offers educators frameworks, tools, and community for equity work that doesn’t stop at intention—it builds real infrastructure.
From navigating systemic pushback to cultivating joy in the face of oppression, this conversation explores how educators and allies can stay rooted in justice while speaking up when it matters most.
In this episode:
- Why “just staying neutral” isn’t an option in today’s climate
- The power of curriculum to affirm, include, and protect
- How allyship means removing barriers—not just offering support
- The story of T* is for Thriving and the frameworks that guide it
- Why joy, rest, and community are part of the resistance
- What it looks like to be in someone’s corner (and let them rest)
