Overview
Janielle will create Sexual Safe Space, a six-episode web series exploring the subject of sexual agency in conversational style discussions delving into the lived sexual experiences within marginalized groups in Philadelphia including black men (self-identified), black women (self-identified), latinx folx, Indigenous folx, LGBQIA folx, and Trans folx. These talks will take place in spaces that are typically known to be safe havens for those in the community. Afterward, each episode will be uploaded to Facebook and YouTube to allow others to view it. This designated safe space is for members of these specific communities to speak openly about their shared experiences, decolonize their views of sexuality, and engage in collective healing with others in their community
