Join LGBTQIA+ Student Services, SMART, QPA, & QIPOC as we welcome Sarah Brynn Holliday.  Sarah Brynn Holliday is a sexuality writer, speaker, and sex toy company consultant based in Salem, Massachusetts. Sarah also identifies as a spooky femme, a queer feminist, an abortion funder, and a devotee of bread and black lipstick. Pronouns are they/them and she/her. 

This event is open to all!

In this keynote, audience members will engage in the following ways.

How can we reclaim pleasure after trauma? What can sex, intimacy, and masturbation look like after trauma? In this workshop, we’ll explore how survivors can craft our own individualized paths toward healing outside of traditional narratives that neglect sex and sexuality. We’ll talk about positive motivations and affirmations for sexual healing, using sex toys as a tool to heal from trauma, self-care tips for survivors, and finding sex-positive community support. All trauma survivors are welcome for this workshop. Sarah’s work is informed by an inclusive definition of trauma that recognizes many types of traumas can affect sex and pleasure — including sexual trauma, chronic illness, death, pregnancy loss, religious trauma, systemic violence and oppression, etc.
