Description: From author: As a Black, bisexual woman from a poor background who is now navigating the middle class and the world of academia, I know what it is to be different. I impact positive change for the LGBTQ community through my research and my teaching. I work with preservice and practicing teachers to empower and engage students through culturally responsive education. I believe that what they do can change the world and, because of that, what I do matters. Overstreet is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Literacy Studies, English Education, and History Education. Pronouns: she/her/hers.
