My Approach to Sexuality Education
My work is grounded in:
- Decolonial and Anti-Colonial Practices: Dismantling colonial narratives about bodies and pleasure.

- Intersectional and Inclusive: Centering historically resilient and marginalized people such as Black, Indigenous, Brown, and Queer people
- Somatic and Trauma-Informed Practices: Addressing sexual trauma with care and respect.
