In this episode of “Keep On Loving the Podcast”, host Mystkue Woods welcomes Dr. Tracy Gilbert, sexuality educator and co-editor of a groundbreaking new academic reader on sex education. Together, they explore the fundamental concepts shaping modern sex ed—intersectionality, trauma-informed approaches, and community-based learning.

Dr. Gilbert highlights how sex education is woven into every aspect of life, the importance of removing stigma, and why intersectional, person-centered practice is critical for effective care. From addressing STI stigma to rethinking how providers engage with clients, this conversation challenges traditional norms and calls for more inclusive, compassionate approaches to sexual health.

Listeners will also hear insights on cultural humility, politics of sex education, and strategies to better equip educators and communities to support one another despite systemic barriers.

This inspiring dialogue reminds us that good sex ed is resilient, grounded in lived experiences, and essential to building healthier futures.
