Projects
With every cocreated project, we write new stories.
Includ:ED
2025
Together with our amazing partners, we are working on a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing gaps in sexual and reproductive health education for LGBTQ+ youth.
Creating an inclusive, accessible, and holistic learning environment that supports the unique needs of queer and gender-diverse individuals.
Includ:ED centers the importance of radical care, empathy, and community support while emphasizing the significance of self-care, as articulated by Audre Lorde.
By combining these principles with Kimberlé Crenshaw's theory of intersectionality, we will address the overlapping identities and systems of oppression that impact access to care and resources for LGBTQ+ youth.
