We Heart Choices Recipe Tasting (3PM)

Join the Sex Ed Bakeshop and YES! (Your Empowered Sexuality) Sex Educator, Janielle Bryan, for an afternoon creating craveable choices. Expand your thinking about reproductive justice and bodily autonomy by decorating cookies that represent your relationship to contraception, fueled by meditation, research, and personal narratives. Leave with to-go treats and tools for further exploration.

TheWe Heart Choices recipe is part of a larger social practice project by the Sex Ed Bakeshop, called (WISER). This workshop's self-reflective activities are not only delicious (because we WILL eat as we decorate!) but lay the foundation for learning and/or becoming more familiar with contraception options, informed consent in health care, the barriers that exist to our reproductive health care and laws in the US and who is most impacted, as well as tips for talking to people age 5-105 about reproductive justice. We will guide you through this meditation on bodily autonomy and choices using personal narrative and current research, with coffee/tea and cookies as our fuel. Participants will contribute recipe feedback and be invited to share documentation of their "Choice Cookies" and personal narratives for the online WISER We Heart Choices recipe archive. Everyone will leave with to-go tools, treats, and resources to continue exploring on their own.
