Hannah and Charlotte sit down to discuss how the Youth Pride Network came to be.

“Intersectional conversations are so important because they acknowledge the totality of who someone is and allow people to bring the entirety of themselves to a discussion. And not have to leave part of themselves at home.”  

On today’s episode we sat down for a conversation with Charlotte Glance, one of the Youth Pride Network’s founders to discuss the origins of the organization, their perspective on the state of things for queer people in WA, what intersectionality means, and what their hopes are for the organization and the podcast.  

Charlotte is a co-founder of the Youth Pride Network and was the organisations first Project and Policy Coordinator of the YPN. Through their hard work they were able to secure the YPN funding through the department of communities and have headed many important projects produced by the Youth Pride Network. Since leaving YPN they’ve moved on to work in the legal field, continuing to advocate against discrimination and for inclusivity in all spaces. 

They are a huge policy nerd and are always happy to talk all-things advocacy, policy and politics. An eager law student, they love chatting about all things law. In their spare time, Charlotte practices martial arts.
