You've never seen sex ed like this before.
Kimberly Huggins and Brittany Brathwaite threw their first safer-sex party in 2011. At the time, they were both members of Sex S.Y.M.B.A.LS, a student-led sexual health organization at Syracuse University. They'd reserved a small, intimate space on campus, expecting no more than two dozen people to attend. After all, the event was about, not necessarily the biggest draw for the college crowd. To their surprise, 100 people showed up; the space was overflowing.
After college, Brathwaite and Huggins both wound up working in the community-health and advocacy space, but their interest in sex ed never left, and they began to see all the ways in which the sexual-health needs of young Black women, specifically, were still not being met. Meanwhile, Brathwaite was working for a community organization supporting the lives of young women of color and trans and nonbinary youth and also felt called back to her sex-ed roots."We both had a longing for the work," Brathwaite says. So in 2016, she and Huggins decided to step outside of their 9-to-5 roles and create sex-ed workshops of their own to bring to churches, after-school organizations, and summer programs to fill the knowledge gap., a combination of their first names.
