Because I am a Woman

I am a graduate student studying in Worcester, MA. I am also a peer sex educator, reproductive justice activist, and feminist.

This blog is about sex-positivity, sex-ed, feminism, reproductive justice, birth justice, intersectionality, and activism.

Feel free to send me a message with your questions about sexual health, feminism, or anything else!

For more information about any of these things please check out the resources tab or leave me a question in my ask box! I would love to talk to you!

If you have anything you would like to bring to my attention or ask that you do not feel comfortable submitting to this page send me an email at: becauseiamawoman.tumblr@gmail.com

Many thanks to Susan of susanharkins.com for designing my logo!

Hi everyone! We’re Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and we just joined Tumblr! We’ll be bringing you all sorts of facts, pics, and info related to sexual health.

My local Planned Parenthood affiliate has finally made it onto Tumblr! Fun fact: I was an intern for PPNNE in Portland way back when!
