Manage episode 480015960 series 3501732
Feeling like you have to stage a protest just to make a difference as a queer educator?
Visibility isn’t about shouting the loudest — it's about being present, real, and intentional in ways that matter to your students and your school community. After my conversation with Anthony Nicodemo, it’s clear: you already have everything you need to make a real impact.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Five practical ways to use everyday visibility to create safer schools and teams.
- How to quietly signal safety and inclusion without putting yourself at risk.
- Why one-on-one relationships often do more to change culture than any big initiative.
Press play to get strategies you can start using immediately — because showing up as yourself is already powerful enough.
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.
