Her work with Outfront MN keeps her busy now, but in the past ten years she has opened a school, received the 2018/2019 MN State Teacher of the Year Award, politely protested against dangerous behaviour and remained strong in the face of unwarranted death threats.

Amy Hallberg talks with Kelly D. Holstine, a former colleague who, long before she became Minnesota Teacher of the Year, had a huge impact on helping Amy claim the role of advocate for LGBTQ youth. Kelly shares the difference between Allies and Advocates, her experience as a Lesbian educator who chose to stay out of the closet, how winning Teacher of the Year helped her dig deeper, and why equity work matters for ALL of us. This podcast is especially for all of us non- (or lesser-) marginalized folks who want to know how we can step up in support of fellow humans, at a time when we really need more human connection.Kelly D.
