Open Book Project Open Book Project is building a collective of sexuality educators in homes and classrooms across Aus Often, we are trying to teach something nobody taught us.

Families and Schools play an important role in the sexuality education of children and young people. So many of us didn't receive any (or any good!) sexuality education. Sexuality is a normal part of life but at times, it can also be a source of uncertainty or stress. For many adults it can seem overwhelming and yet it’s one of the most important things you can talk about. Previously known as Gold Coast Sexology, the Open Book Project has provided relationships and sexuality education across the globe. The lessons and programs that Open Book Project offers are aligned to the Australian Curriculum, are evidence-informed and designed to provide you with all the information you need to talk easily and confidently about the sexuality topics that matter. With support, you can be an open book and share a sex-positive approach to relationships and sexuality. At Open Book Project we believe in safety, pleasure, and respect as the foundation of sexual identity and experiences. Are you ready to join the collective?

This was a referendum asking us to choose between two impossible and arguably inadequate options. One choice was to give coloniser recognition to the traditional owners of this land in the hope it was a ‘First step’ towards something better. The other choice was split between side with N***s or draw a line in the sand and demand treaty. That line is super fu***ng blurry.

Either way we don’t wake up tomorrow in any more or less of a racist country. Australia is racist AF and we live on stolen land. I also don’t believe that the majority of people voting no did it because they want treaty.

If you chose any option, whether yes or no, that wasn’t siding with n***s then we have work to do. We absolutely have to commit to closing the gap and improving health outcomes for First Nations people. We have to create space for yarning and the healing of a trauma that runs generations deep. The colonial pain inflicted on first nations people isn’t ‘history they need to get over’. There are people living with us who were stolen from community and country. There are people living with us who look white because of targeted government eugenics programs to ‘breed out the black’. There are people living with us who aren’t represented in local, state, or federal government because they are neither citizens or migrants. We need to use our elbows to make a path then step the f**k aside to give First Nations people A Voice.

If you didn’t side with N***s what will you do next??

Ps. If you did side with N***s please unfollow me toot sweet!!

October is Sexual Violence Awareness Month. I've been fairly quiet on social media lately but super busy behind the scenes. Last week I facilitated the panel discussion at the Start By Believing Community Breakfast. Next week we are holding the annual Reclaim The Night Rally down at Broadwater Parklands. At the end of the month, I'm presenting at the Sexology In Practice Symposium in Adelaide along with Dr Tessa Opie from .co and Vanessa Hamilton from . Tess and I have also launched a new company together so stay tuned for more details!!

This month for SVAM we've been asking people to commit to to lead the change to end sexual violence. My action is to be more present on social media and use my voice and privilege to call out misogyny and discrimination. There are a lot of things I dislike about social media so I try to avoid it but many of the things I don't like are also things that I can't ignore if I want to be a part of meaningful social change.

What will your be?

Excited to receive my copy of the new book from Vanessa Hamilton at Talking the Talk Healthy Sexuality Education

I was lucky enough to read the book before it went to print and it’s one of the most up to date, sensible, and inclusive resources for parents out there.

If you want to update your own knowledge, or gain skills for starting and continuing conversations about relationships and sexuality I highly recommend getting your hands on a copy. Give Vanessa a follow for sales info.
