A taboo topic for some but this is truly life-saving information which is why we're talking about it. Meet Justine Ang Fonte, a health educator who survived a bit of a scandal in 2021 to come out the other side of it as an even stronger advocate for herself and her students. Joining us to help us understand why we want to start talking about sex ed as early as Pre-K and how to talk about it with our own families at all ages, this episode will likely redefine for you what sex ed actually means. While it might now include pornography literacy, it's also about so much more than intercourse. Listen in! I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
