In episode five, we are joined by sexuality educator extraordinaire Angie Foster-Lawson. Please join us as we dig into the world of gender-expansive, parenting—a transformative experience that challenges traditional norms and thinks beyond the binary. Angie shares personal stories, insights, and invaluable advice on navigating the waters of raising children in a way that is inclusive and acknowledges that our young people are the ones who know themselves best.
Angie Foster-Lawson, MEd (they/them) is an educator, parent, and government employee whose day job is to make public school a better place for queer and gender-expansive kids and adults. They can be reached on Instagram at @yeahyeahqueer.
