The kids are gonna be okay!

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, join hosts Lizette Trujillo and Stephen Chukumba as they interview nonbinary author Joelle Retener about their upcoming book, Marley's Pride. We find out how she went from diplomatic service with the State Department to homeschooling nonbinary kids in the woods to writing books. In today's topics, we dig into the Tennessee bill allowing discrimination against same sex couples, the Super Bowl "He Get Us" ads, and right wing media trying to make the Joel Osteen shooter trans. This week's Allies & Assholes highlights Lyft for expanding safety precautions to protect women and nonbinary people, and we drag North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson for being a transphobic tool.
