Have you ever wondered if being visible as a queer educator could actually transform your students' lives?

Many LGBTQ+ educators and coaches feel isolated, invisible, or unsure how to advocate for themselves in spaces that still carry outdated stigma — especially in athletics. This episode shows how living authentically can open doors, challenge stereotypes, and create safer, stronger communities for students.

In this episode, you will:

• Discover how your daily visibility, even without grand gestures, can shatter stereotypes and build real belonging for students.
• Learn why one-on-one connections often drive more change than big corporate DEI initiatives.
• Understand how strategic advocacy and knowing your rights can protect your job — and help you grow your impact.

Press play to hear how being authentic in your school or team setting can create real, lasting change starting today.

The podcast explores the challenges and successes of Queer representation in education, addressing issues such as burnout, tokenism, doxing, and the importance of advocacy in creating inclusive classrooms, safe spaces, and anti-bullying strategies, with a focus on supporting gay, lesbian, bisexual, , transgender, asexual, aromantic, agender, two-spirit, and non-binary teachers and gender identity in schools to combat the feeling of isolation and lack of community.
