20 – (PT. 2) Our Sexual Education System Sucks ft. Nicole Johnston

Hannah Bugas Episode 20

A common struggle for women, non-binary fellows, and other minorities in male-dominated sectors: Is this a safe space for me to be vulnerable and authentic to who I am? If the answer is no, what can I do to change it?

This episode is Part 2 of my interview with Nicole Johnston—a colleague and a passionate feminist community organizer with a commitment to developing policies that promote gender equality, peacebuilding, and post-conflict development.

Here’s an overview of what we discussed:

  • Some of our recommended sexual education resources
  • The Power of Vulnerability to forge connections and build confidence
  • Being yourself in spaces that don’t feel safe
  • Nicole’s perspective on Impostor syndrome and some strategies on how to deal with It
  • How passionate feminists can take action and find where they belong
  • Collective Action’s Impact: how to participate and create change
  • Centering and learning from the voices of those fighting for intersectionality in feminist movements
  • In both feminism and life: Doing your best can look different from day to day
