The Autism in Black Podcast is hosted by Maria Davis-Pierre, LMHC and focuses on all things autism and the black parent experience. Our goal is to educate, support, and empower black parents to advocate not only for their children but themselves as well.

Today we are joined by LaDawn Lanier, M.Ed, M.Ed for a very important discussion. LaDawn talks with us about sex education. She tells us the real meaning of sex education and what it includes. She talks about what sex education looks like in the schools and what’s really being covered. And she also talks about when and parents should begin having these conversations with their children, as well as how to begin the conversation.
