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.

Sex Ed for All Month with LIGHT Students
We're celebrating yet again with this episode! May is also Sex Ed for All Month, so in our effort to join the observance, we wanted to deeply discuss the state of sex ed currently and how we can join the movement for the truly accessible sex ed of our dreams. We chat with three students from our local LIGHT program, which is the Leaders Igniting a Healthy Generation of Teens program that operates out of the Planned Parenthood of South, East, and North Florida. Speaking with Isana, Rachel, and Catianna provided necessary insight into the sex ed that students deserve access to, no matter where they live or what identities they hold. I hope you all get as much out of this conversation as I did; I feel inspired to connect more meaningfully with the young people in my life, more fiercely advocate for an education system that they can find solace and power in, and more compassionately create networks of communal care that centers our young folks that are being failed and harmed by the systems of oppression that impact us all. And I hope you do, too!
