Last month, Teaching While Queer contacted us on TikTok with an idea that lit a fire under me. Their mission—to support educators targeted by anti-queer hate—hit home. As someone who’s been in awe of teachers my whole life, I wanted to jump in and help.
After a round of emails, approvals, and a few moments of nervous excitement, all the items you see in our Exclusive Teaching While Queer Designs collection were born. From bold t-shirts and eye-catching stickers to cozy sweatshirts and sleek water bottles—each piece is more than just apparel. It’s a statement of pride, support, and a call to action for equality. It’s all about channeling creative energy into fighting hate and celebrating those who dare to educate in the face of adversity.
Teaching While Queer is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering queer educators and advocating for safe, inclusive schools. Their mission is to create environments where every educator can teach, every family can belong, and every child can learn free from anti-queer hate. Learn more about their impactful work on their website: teachingwhilequeer.org.
I’m buzzing with excitement for what comes next. Here’s to a future where every educator feels celebrated, elevated, safe, and seen! Join us. Wear your pride. And let’s amplify the voices of queer educators together.
