Invisible at the Intersection: Queer Men of Color, Cultural Media, and Education

• In Event: Queer Male Teachers of Color in the Social Context of Education VP Session

Abstract

My presentation examines the underrepresentation of LGBTQ+ educators of color in cultural media and its educational impact. Despite limited visibility in film and television, gay teachers of color like Tell Williams (@mrwilliamsprek in TikTok) use social media for intersectional advocacy, addressing workplace discrimination, promoting inclusive practices, and building supportive communities.
