Sex Positivity

SEX POSITIVITY: WHAT IT IS, WHAT IT IS NOT AND WHO IT IS FOR

 4-5:30pm

Join the W-Hub, Summer Bridge, CARE, and CBCRR as we welcome Portia to facilitate the workshop, Sex Positivity: What it is, What it is not and Who it is for. Let’s explore the nuances of what this buzzword “Sexpositivity” actually means. There are many misconceptions around this term but the truth is, anyone with any set of morals or values can be more sex positive. Portia wants to share with you why we need more sex positivity in our society and how it relates to your life!

This is part of our Womxn’s Wisdom Series! Space is limited so make sure to cancel your registration if you aren’t able to make it.
