  • Sex, the Curse Word
    Join me and the fellow community builders as we have a discussion that we feel should be taken back to community and had several times over. Let's talk SEX! What is sex? How do we protect it and ourselves. We discuss ideas and methods of when is the appropriate time to have this conversation with our children. This is not the time to says "Not My Child" This is not the time to hide the truth from them either. Equip and protect your children with the knowledge of SEX. The full knowledge, they can know how to address these situations once they arise or are presented to them. Also take time to heal from sexual traumas so that you can be a healer to others. This conversation is a bit intense, but it is meaningful and purposeful. *SORRY FOR THE AUDIO TROUBLE*
