Welcome! I'm an STI+ Sexual Health Educator, speaker, and freelance writer covering evidenced-based prevention, safer sex, and transmission risk; symptoms and testing; and personal narratives, disclosure, and stigma. Let's connect! [email protected]
๐คCan I take an STI test at home?
๐Yes! There are many options for at-home STI testing. You can get tests online, at your local pharmacy, or check with your local Planned Parenthood clinic. Learn more: @TheSTIProject https://t.co/PvDutphoTx
Recently had the pleasure of contributing to a @getmegiddy piece by the fabulous @HekateCreative, considering recent research indicating women experience more adverse effects post-STI/STD diagnosis than men! Full article: https://t.co/Ob01M9MMZL
Would love your thoughts!
When Jenelle was diagnosed with herpes at 16, she felt devastated and embarrassed. Yet living with an #STI has not stopped her from pursuing her dreams, and it shouldnโt stop you either. Read more of Jenelleโs story (@TheSTIProject): https://t.co/AMsgW3kPW3

Just did my first interview in a little over two months covering what it's like to live with herpes and it felt good to be talking about STIs and stigma again! Want to chat about sexual health and STIs? Hit me up if you have a podcast, and I'd love to schedule a time to chat!
Life has gotten away from me recently while juggling a two-year-old and my role as the Executive Director of AAOSH. Here's a lovely interview I did with Gigi from @rythmwellness a little while back! https://t.co/cauNiC2EtS

โCulturally, we are taught to fear human sexuality and the expression of that sexuality. That fear leads to poor education and the stigmatization of anything that is related to our sexuality, such as STIs.โ โJenelle M. Pierce, CSE from @TheSTIProject ๐ https://t.co/hymOcf8qz2
The second Yahoo article features Chris Olsen, who is an ICON, so that's my accomplishment for the year and I can go to bed now until 2024. Check it out!

@erinlschumaker@politico ORAL & SYSTEMIC Health! The future of health is understanding systemic links - preventing illness through the identification of root causes!

After Hillary lost, she went for a walk in the woods, wrote books, did podcasts & traveled the world advocating for human rights & democracy at large.
She didnโt once call for the Constitution to be terminated.
But do go on about how women are โtoo emotional to leadโ wonโt you.
Suffice it to say, there will be much more to come about this, but for the moment I'm simply celebrating this incredible opportunity! I mean, honestly, can you believe it?!? I've already tried pinching myself but to no avail. ๐

Recognizing, understanding, and learning how to support the intersectionalities that exist across our physiological and psychological experiences is key to all health and wellness, so naturally, it's also paramount to our sexual health and wellness!
