Get to know the #HealthyTeen19 Featured Speakers:

On Tuesday, October 29^th, keynote speaker Dr. Donna Oriowo will remind us that when it comes to sex ed, the one size fits all technique is about as old as a black and white television in a world where melanin is poppin’ and wants to be seen in its full color. In her session, “Melanin Poppin’: Colorblind Politics Plaguing Sexuality Education,” Dr. Donna will discuss awareness and integration of cultural and racial differences in sexuality education, with an emphasis on Black female sexuality for sex education that is truly intersectional, relevant, and more than diversity lip service.
