Such an honor to have Wellness Counselor and Psychotherapist Truc Nguyen join us on this eye-opening episode to talk about the necessary steps to stand up against racism, create a safer environment that promotes self-love, and plant seeds to eliminate biases. It's time to heighten education on laser-focused inclusion on sexual orientation and gender identity in schools. You certainly want to listen to this!

Key takeaways to listen for

• Techniques on how to build boundaries around helping people
• The impact of building a culture of belongingness in schools and for children
• Critical steps to help kids embrace themselves regardless of gender
• What can teachers do to show support for inclusion?
• An integrated approach to promote gender, race, and class openness in schools

*Update: The drag show has indeed been canceled for this spring, but I hope it makes a comeback!
