YASÉ

Okay So Boom…
it’s always protect Black girls & gender expansive folks over here🌹
Hey Tribe!
Join me and some other
amazing youth healers, movement builders, and table shakers today
(Wednesday Oct. 18th) in a discussion on the issues and solutions to protecting Black girls & Gender Expansive Youth from police
s*xual violence in schools.
As a mostly youth S*x educator
it is vital to me we commune over
the well-being of our young people
and their autonomy that is constantly
under attack in this country.
It is viral we listen and learn from
youth and hear the desires &
concerns of their heart.
They get to take up space and feel
safe doing so.
I’ll be one of the panelists answering questions with the lovely Tarana Burke and Andrea J. Ritchie of
In Our Names as our moderators.
It’s free and here’s the link https://www.eventbrite.com/e/safe-not-s*xualized-tickets-721334580147?aff=oddtdtcreator to register.

See y’all soon. Let’s get free 🌹

Its Monday AND Its Pride Month!
YASÉ has a little message for the people and we want it to
REALLY sit with who it applies to.
Lets be more intentional about how we show up for q***r folks this
Month and the months to come because we TIED and deserve better
than what a lot of straight ran organizations have been giving us.
If you claim to be an ally and commited to q***r liberation and
Black liberation, then one way you can really stand in the gap is to
redistribute and give up wealth.
Highly consider this as you navigate Pride month and send out
company promotions emails.l
to celebrate Pride.

Q***r teens and adults drop your cashapps, Venmos, and any other money platforms you have in the comments.

Heteros*xual folks this is your opportunity to show up BIG.

Demanding desires in a society that tells us we only get to have what we need is an act of resistance. We get to have what we want, too.

Aight, so boom! 👀
Beads4OurBodies is a non-profit feminist jewelry collective founded by undergraduate students Jillianne Samiano (she/hers) and Kennedi Malone (she/hers) to promote empowered self and gender expression among youth. Beads4OurBodies believes that freely accessorizing our bodies is a radical mechanism through which we exercise our autonomy and choice. As such, Beads4OurBodies handcrafts feminist inspired, identity affirming jewelry that challenges continued efforts to minoritize our beloved communities. Advocating for resistance informed by a critical analysis of power structures, Beads4OurBodies also uses its platform to educate youth on reproductive justice and intersectional feminism. Dedicated to celebrating those whose bodies have been excluded and policed, Beads4OurBodies strives to promote confidence through product, programming, and protest.
