In Part I of this powerful Pride Month conversation, David speaks with Dr. Rodney Glasgow, a prominent educator and advocate for equity and inclusion, about the intersections of race, class, and sexual orientation, and the role of educators in today’s challenging climate.
Rodney reflects on growing up in Baltimore and how it shaped his understanding of racial and economic segregation (04:45). He shares his journey to the Gilman School (06:00) and how he navigated his identity in a predominantly white institution (10:34).
He explores the meaning of Pride and the importance of knowing one’s worth and finding community (19:20). The conversation then turns to challenges facing LGBTQ educators and students (25:20) and the importance of purpose and advocacy (31:22).
Finally, Rodney discusses navigating difficult conversations in education (33:00), the historical context behind today’s backlash (36:00), and the sustaining power of resilience and joy (40:14).
