Episode 2
Erica’s classroom was right next door to her wife’s classroom, but nobody at school knew they were married. They built a safe space that allowed them to grow. And they want to hear from others who “have the gall to live their truth.”
Erica co-hosts this episode with her wife, Daphne. They explore bias and belonging for LGBTQ+ students and teachers with a third grader in Chicago, a high school student in Bronx, NY, and GSA (Gender and Sexuality Alliance) facilitator and members in Queens, NY.
