About Me:
I'm looking to make a difference in the lives of others, in my community, and in the world. I never know where to start. I feel so passionate about the topic of sexual health, but there's no one else out here on the same page as I am. Maybe joining here will help me. I can't wait to make a difference.

Yesterday just happened to be World AIDS Day and I happened to be handing out condoms at SFSU. Most of them were distributed in my "Sexuality, Ethnicity, and Health" class. Some classmates and I did a presentation on Representations of Women in Media. We discussed sexuality and body image, bringing up the stigma and double standards attached to female sexuality (we also showed clips from Let's Talk About Sex and from interviews we did with peers on campus). Lots of condoms were handed out, classmates were stoked!

Figured out how to post a photo!

For Halloween, I dressed as my very own super hero, with the words "SAFE SEX SUPER HERO" on my chest/stomach so people knew who I was. I wore suspenders with condoms taped to them. I bought Halloween goodie bags and in each bag put two condoms (for The Great American Condom Campaign), a condom fact sheet, a statistic sheet, and the Trojan information sheet that came with the condoms. I handed out 80 of these bags throughout the bars in the wonderful city of San Francisco. :) Many people approached me and asked for condoms as well. SUCCESS! :)
