Episode 17. Sex Ed In The South, Part 1 (ft. Dr. Rena Dixon)

So, by now we've talked to sex educators from the South, and sex educators who live IN the South...for our Season Three opener we're upping the ante and talking about sex ed IN the south, with sexual health educator and unapologetic "country girl" Dr. Rena Dixon, Director of Health Services for Fact Forward, out of Charleston, South Carolina. Dr. G & Dr. D get into a candid, lively conversation about representation in sex ed, Dr. Dixon's gift of gab, and what it means to experience progress in more conservative areas like the Southeastern United States. An absolutely PERFECT way to kick off a brand new season!

Episode Transcripts are delayed, but will be forthcoming as soon as possible.
