SXSWEDU Panel Discussion: "Can Hip Hop Shape How We See the LGBT Community?"


“Can Hip Hop Shape How We See the LGBT Community?”

Featuring: James Miles, Big Freedia, Bettina Love, Jarritt Ahmed Sheel, Akiea Gross

This panel presentation features educators, musicians, writers, and researchers as we discuss the impact of guidelines and protections being rolled back by our current administration. How do we protect young people, in schools, when the federal government refuses to do so? If popular artists have a voice that can be used for change, how do they use it? What can we do as adult allies and advocates to change policy? How do we support students, like those from Parkland, to share their voices?
