*CW: discussions of grief, loss of a parent and friend, anxiety, depression starting at 29:16; mention of suicidal ideation at 39:54*

This week's guest is truly a legend in the field of sex education: Bianca Laureano, award-wining educator, curriculum writer, facilitator, and sexologist! Caitlin and Bianca discuss the importance of educators and providers unlearning oppressive language and thought processes, including racial justice and centering students of color in sex ed, tuning into erotic power when moving through grief and mourning, and Bianca's work on the Netflix film Crip Camp and the accompanying disability justice curriculum.
