Fellow S*xuality Educator, Goody Howard shared some good tea!!

Roe vs. Wade overturn is gut-wrenching to many!

The need for comprehensive and WHOLISTIC S*xuality Education is more imperative than EVER!!

BUT it's soooo many states that won't all the truth about s*xual health & wellness and s*xual development to be taught!

Folk need Education.
Folk need ACCESS to Quality Reproductive Health Services.
Folk need government leaders who aren't wiping away their human rights!!!
