Sex-Positive Community
I am proud to work with a global group of like-minded pioneers and educators who share my goal of removing the shame and taboo surrounding sexual health.
In the spirit of collaboration and diversity of view-points, my events often feature at least one other relevant speaker or guest from the fields of sexual health and sex education.
They offer a diverse range of perspectives, backgrounds and experience on sexual health and wellbeing, but they all have one thing in common: a passion for encouraging sex-positive conversations.
