Hello everyone, and thanks for tuning in to episode 20 of the Learn With Lels podcast!

In this episode, I spoke with Marley Bowen, who is one of the executive directors of Get REAL, a non-profit organization that fights LGBTQ+ discrimination by promoting acceptance in schools and workplaces through workshops and after-school programs. 

In this conversation, Marley talked about:

  • Get REAL and the work that they’re doing to educate students and employees about inclusivity;

  • some of the pushback they’ve received for their work;

  • how they’ve adjusted with the pandemic (when so much of their work was based on school visits);

  • the new things they’re working on; and

  • how Get REAL would’ve helped her during her coming out experience.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and thank you so much for listening! To learn more about Get REAL and their amazing work, head over to www.thegetrealmovement.com.
