Hey Panthers! Join the founders as they investigate the importance of inclusivity and visibility for LGBTQIA+ youth in schools. They discuss what inclusivity and visibility within the LGBTQIA+ community means, why it is important to celebrate Pride Month and display awareness to the LGBTQIA+ community, what supports are available at schools, and the long-term effects of inclusivity and diversity. They also reveal another influential leader for April, Bayard Rustin. As a podcast, we hope to provide a judgment-free space that welcomes all experiences and emotions through this episode. Once again, please reach out if you have any stories relating to this or any future topic ideas, and be sure to monitor your emotions while listening. Remember, it is not our intention - nor are we in any way equipped - to diagnose anyone, so please take everything with a grain of salt. Within today’s episode, we cover expansive topics so do not confine yourself to these examples in any way. Talk to a trusted adult and seek professional help if you or someone else you know is struggling with depression, anxiety, or anything else. Finally, in this episode, we feature Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice, an organization that supports Black and gay individuals.
