March Webinar: Reflecting and Reimagining Masculinities in Sex Ed
Conversations about masculinity in sex education are ongoing and have primarily focused on barriers to accessing sexual health care because of stigma and negative perceptions of masculinity. In our webinar we hope to add to the conversation by highlighting examples of spaces and resources that people can use to explore their masculinities in a positive way. We will be talking about masculinities in the plural to expand our definition and acknowledge the range of ways that masculinities can be expressed. We will look at masculinities as both an identity and an expression. As we examine how representations in media, families, as well as stereotypical “boys space” feed into negative stereotypes around hypermasculinity, we will explore the possibilities of masculinities that can be healthy and positive in alternative spaces. We challenge youth-serving adults to reflect on how masculinities show up in their lives and classrooms to better support people who identify as men or masculine.

April Webinar: Centering Black Bodies, Black Wellness, and Black History within Sex Ed
During this webinar, we will discuss the historical context around medical and sexual abuse in the US as it relates to Black folks and how that continues to impact Black Experiences within our US medical and school systems today. We will then brainstorm strategies on how sexual health educators and youth-serving adults can better support Black wellness and youth by reflecting upon personal values and biases; as well as on the policies and practices that exist within our education and medical systems today.
Content Warning: During this webinar, we will be briefly discussing trauma that has been historically and systemically inflicted on Black Bodies; and discuss how that violence is perpetuated in varying forms today. Some might find the images, video and/or audio uncomfortable. Please take care of yourself.
