Who I am as a sex educator is who I am as a person

 
 
 

I’m human.

You probably are too (no shade to any alien or animal readers out there). So when I tell you who I am and what I value is more complex than the list below, I assume you get it.

I bring a lot of myself to my work. I have my own perspectives, experiences, and intentions as a sex educator. If we’re going to work together, I want you to have some idea of where I’m coming from.

 
 
 
 
 

  • I’m a Black woman

  • I’m queer

  • I’m a partner to a dude. I like him a LOT.

  • I’m a parent to a teen. I like them a LOT. They like me too…even if they won’t admit it in public.

  • I have ADHD. Sometimes I’m okay with that. Sometimes I’m not.

  • I live with anxiety and depression. They’re…not my favourite.

  • I’m the first-generation child of immigrants

  • I was born and currently live on the occupied territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Mississauga of the New Credit.

  • I have had and continue to have financial stability and privilege.

  • I am sex-positive. For more on what I mean by that check out this video I made. And this one too.

  • I strive to be pro-choice, pro-pleasure and queer-inclusive in my work.
