Sexy & Safe at Home with H.E.A.T.
Inclusive sex ed can change the world. To be a part of that world, join us for Sexy and Safe at Home with H.E.A.T. to dive deeper into sexuality topics that often go neglected by mainstream, or nonexistent, sexual health education: prioritizing pleasure, breaking down the binary, exposing the Black maternal health crisis, destigmatizing sex work, exploring kink, demystifying disabled sex, and so much more. With host Jianna “J” D’Addario, UF Psychology and Theories and Politics of Sexuality alumnus and H.E.A.T.’s sex health educator for over a year, we will build a better, sexier, safer world with unapologetically queer and revolutionary conversations about sex. Through biweekly interviews with community members, organizers, and experts, we’ll explore the knowledge and stories that can empower us to better understand sexuality, sexual health, ourselves, and each other.

Positive and Pleasured with CJ Acevedo and Penelope Sutliff
In this episode, we feature two different conversations to help us all better understand and destigmatize STIs. We'll chat with CJ Acevedo, the HIV High Impact Prevention Program Coordinator at WellFlorida, about the stigma surrounding HIV and how we can create empathetic networks of care throughout our communities for those living with HIV. We'll also chat with Penelope Sutliff about their personal experiences living with herpes, ranging from posting about their status online and continuing to grow throughout their journey with their positive diagnosis. With these conversations, we hope to challenge our current approach to STIs, one marked by stigma and inaccessibility, and replace it with radical joy, communal care, and accessibility to necessary resources.
