Great Hall, Memorial Union

Diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer at the age of 28, activist and sexuality educator Ericka Hart realized that neither her identity as a queer black non-binary femme, nor her sex life as a survivor, was featured prominently in her treatment. She will share her unique perspective on challenging anti-blackness and the importance of addressing sexual expression and human health at their intersections with race, gender, chronic illness and disability.
