Aurora will be centering her PleasureFest talk around storytelling as a form of activism, coupled with topics of reproductive justice. Visit her website here for more information.

Comprehensive sex education is just one part of a multi-pronged approach to the prevention of sexual violence. These events are not an endorsement or invitation for attendees to engage in risky behavior, rather, they are providing a space for attendees to learn about safer and consent-based interactions and to recognize signs of both healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics.
