Creating Supportive, Inclusive Spaces for LGBTQ+ Students

Research from GLSEN indicates that 1 in 5 LGBTQ+ students see positive representation of the community in their curriculum, nearly 9 in 10 experience harassment, and almost one-third miss school because they feel unsafe or uncomfortable.

Host Tetiana Anderson is joined by Melanie Willingham-Jaggers, GLSEN’s first Black and nonbinary Executive Director, for a conversation about efforts to ensure that all LGBTQ+ students have the support they need for success in school and beyond — and Willingham-Jaggers’ vision for GLSEN’s future.
