In response to several of the articles that I’ve written, I feel the need to be more assertive in addressing the lack of healthy, holistic and comprehensive sexuality education. I have been charged with standing in the gap, I have accepted the call, and I need your help! I am starting a #HowDareINot and #ISaveLives Movement to increase education around sexuality and I need you to help me by sharing my videos, articles, social media posts, and e-newsletter. We need to get people on board with this movement because way too many of our youth, and even adults and seniors, are dying because of the lack of education, information and skills related to sexual activity! You can start making a difference today by: 1) sharing this article, 2) sharing the logo (posted below) on all your social media sites, 3) sharing the story behind the movement, and 4) taking a picture with the logo! Every time you share something, please include the hashtags #HowDareINot and #ISaveLives.
The story behind the #HowDareINot #ISaveLives campaign logo
This logo has meaning; it’s a metaphor for healthy sexuality! I chose bricks because bricks are strong and sturdy, they can weather the storm, they are an essential part of any foundation because without a foundation, a building will crumble. Our sexuality is our foundation. It is an essential part of who we are. It impacts every area of our lives. Our sexuality sustains us. Without a healthy understanding of our sexuality, we crumble. The deteriorating brick exposing the dark and decaying wall represents the breakdown or degradation of our sexuality, the lack of knowledge and comprehensive sexuality education that runs rampant among us, and our failure to talk about sexuality and dying from our unhealthy sexual decisions. When we fail to talk about sexuality and/or educate ourselves and others, we put ourselves at risk because we do not understand the dimensions and spectrum of sexuality, we do not understand the direct and indirect consequences of sexuality, nor do we fully understand how to make choices to protect ourselves. The white shadowing that radiates from the HowDareINot website link represents the knowledge, skills and tools that I share with you about healthy sexuality that will help to: 1) empower you to move from the darkness to light, 2) rebuild your crumbling foundation, and 3) help save your L.I.F.E!
