Redefining Sex Education as Self-Care
Meet Emily L. Depasse (she/her), the vivacious sex and relationship educator captivating audiences with her vibrant digital content, where sexual health shines as the ultimate act of self-care.
Remember those old-school sex ed classes where sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were portrayed as terrifying monsters? Well, Emily's here to flip the script! Say goodbye to fear and shame, and hello to open conversations and honest education. Emily equips you to confidently navigate your sexual health, set boundaries, and bust myths about STIs.
Passionate about providing her students with research-backed, inclusive, sex education materials, Emily ensures that you feel seen and empowered to make informed decisions about your sexual health.
