What do you think about the Democrats allowing a block on insurance subsidies for abortions into the health care bill?
It is a terrible betrayal of reproductive health and rights
It was a necessary compromise to get the bill passed
We should be focusing on the positives in the bill
The abortion restriction will fail in the Senate

 I want to help young women feel comfortable embracing their sexual identities. Even though I was routinely taught that premarital sex was “bad,” I came to know sex as something that can be very enjoyable and special, and I believe that no one should be made to feel guilty for   desiring it. Understanding myself better now I know too that my sexuality is an important part of my identity.

My mom is a sex educator and I share her passion for helping youth - I hope I too can inspire and help someone. It is often true that people think their parents don’t know what they are talking about - so now they can get information about relationships and sexuality from other youth.

Audre Lorde once said, "When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak." MySistahs is a place where the words of young women of color are heard and welcomed. So...write to us and let us know how we can help!






Latizzia, age 22
Virginia

Growing up, no one really spoke to me and my young family members about the health issues that we should have learned about, so I want to give that young boy or girl that doesn't have someone to tell them about sex, STDs, and other health issues the opportunity to learn and be educated on these issues that they may one day face.




Michelle, age 23
Ohio

I think young people should show our policy makers that we're ready, willing and proud to take responsibility for our sexual health, and that it should not be regarded as a taboo subject, but just a part of our comprehensive well being.





Mimi, age 20
Colorado

I am layers and intersections of acquaintances, ideas, desires, and passions. I am the unresponsive expression of an abuse victim. I am the burning frustration of a youth’s experience and perspective being illegitimatized. I am the crippling confusion of a Latina growing up stabbed by stereotypes. I am also action. I am the self-love, and resiliency after abuses, oppressions, and false assertions.



Omega, age 24
North Carolina and New York

I know the pressures that females face as we mature and how being a minority can sometimes add to those complications. It can be difficult to know where to turn when you face major life issues, but you don't have to face your problems alone. I’m here for you, to help you to find answers and to provide you with support.

Terica, age 24
California and Louisiana

Too often in our life’s we allow our stepping stones to become our stumbling blocks...and we loose sight of our own goals, aspirations, and dreams in the process. I choose to aim high, for success and gain every joyous aspect of life that I deserve. You are welcome to come along with me and enjoy the ride of determination to the destination...SUCCESS!!!!

Young people can support the youth reproductive and sexual health movement by advocating for sexual health programs that discuss a wide range of topics, because what you learn about sex when you are younger is key to your view of it when you are older.
