Authenticity isn’t oversharing.
It’s refusing to pretend you’re neutral, robotic, or untouched by the world.

When we show up whole, students learn they’re allowed to exist fully too.

Showing up as your full, real self in the classroom gives students permission to do the same. Teaching starts with recognizing the humanity and lived experience already in the room.

Colour splashes of paint in the background underly three stylised white phrases: 1. Queer stories belong in our world. 2. Queer people exist in all spaces. 3. Queer pedagogy benefits everyone.

Let 2025 be the year ELT embraces queerness. I'll help.
