Pride & Progress Bites' is a P&P mini-series.
We've been releasing the Pride & Progress podcast for 3 years now, and the podcast is built on the belief that sharing a story can start a change. Stories are incredibly powerful - even a short story has the power to start a meaningful change. In each ‘Pride & Progress Bite', we hear from an LGBT+ educator or ally, each sharing a short story of pride & progress from their own school or community.
This week's Pride & Progress Bite comes from the brilliant Mel Lane (she/her). She is the head of education for Pop'n'Olly, and joins us to talk about visibility.
Share a story – start a change. www.prideprogress.co.uk
