Today’s guest is Caitlin Long.  Caitlin is a sexual health educator who has recently co-founded Rescripted, a new feminist education consulting business that develops deep, critical thinking curriculum and programming about sexuality and gender.  Caitlin has taught in several gender-specific schools and as a guest in multiple spaces and organizations.  She is also developing a new intensive and experiential racial healing workshop with Ulcca Hansen called Silk Strand.  Additionally, Caitlin is pursuing a certification in Sexuality Education through ISEE, the Institute for Sexuality Education and Enlightenment.

In our conversation, Caitlin dives into some of the common challenges that the subject of sexuality education presents to people with wide ranges of knowledge and experiences.  She explains how and why she has learned to approach education on sexuality from a more holistic lens rather than solely from a behavioral and preventative mindframe.  She also discusses her inspiration from Sonya Renee Taylor regarding three “peaces” and making peace with our bodies.  She talks about how our society can often be grounded in fear of differences, which has damaging repercussions that can manifest in shame and anger, but how we can improve that by working together and being more vulnerable and recognizing where these messages come from.

Thank you for tuning in to this episode of humble badass educators with humble badass Caitlin Long.
