We just wanted to say how awesome today's lesson was! The fifth graders were so engaged and interested. The language you used and the content you provided was so inclusive, like explaining what intersex means, that someone of any gender can be attracted to someone of any gender, and that not everyone experiences romantic attraction in their life. We are eager for lesson 2 and so are the students!

I wanted to reach out and just share how much I appreciate the way you cover your content. On a personal note, I was petrified growing up to come out as gay because I was convinced that meant I couldn't have a family. Hearing you share that anyone can have a family was really special. I wish I had had the opportunity to hear that.

I just wanted to say how great I thought the puberty program was. The information was so clear. I feel like these kids will feel so much more comfortable about their bodies as they go through puberty. Thanks again.

I attended the workshop for parents you gave at our school, and I wanted to tell you that the language you provided us with when talking to our second grader about sex, how babies are made (we'd never discussed it), etc. gave me the push I needed to finally start having conversations with him about these tough topics. Your workshop was so helpful, and gave me the language and info I needed most. Thank you!
