At Garden of Intention (GOI), sex education is self education. GOI is a Black-centered platform that uses storytelling, pleasure, and cultural history to help people understand their bodies, desires, and relationships, and to replace shame with intention and curiosity.

It’s Our Anniversary! 🥳🪷

I birthed YASÉ in 2020 in my mother’s kitchen
where I was living at the time.
Completing grad school, being her caretaker,
depressed, overworked, hopeful, & knowing I had something big inside me that needed to get out..
Then BOOM. YASÉ came to me after a conversation
with my big sister & coming from sitting at the River
journaling when a dragon fly landed on the top of my bald head like some whimsical Disney princess. 😌
The rest was developed in my being.
Developed in embodying
all that I was fed up accepting & accepting all that needed to be fed…

6 years of seggz education.
6 years of building a consent culture.
6 years of teaching.
6 years of collaborating with
amazing orgs & individuals like
@homeplxceretreats, @charlotteblackpride, @everyblackgirl, @inournames,
& @seedsmidlands
6 years of learning something new
from every young person we have
facilitated workshops for.
6 years of tears.
6 years of much uncertainty
at times.
6 years of navigating homophobia,
classism, racism, colorism & every
other structure that we refused to
let call us dead.
6 years of nos.
6 years of continued trying.
6 years of triumphs.
6 years of growth & being stretched.
6 years of being in my medicine.
6 years of absolute bliss doing
exactly what I love.

We are are still here.
Like the dragonfly transforming
every sky into its own elevated
playground.
Giving us reminders of our sustainability.
Of our Queerness.
& Blackness
& of the radical pleasure we have
birthrights to.
Thank the Lorde, we are still
HERE.

Help keep us sustained with your
acts of kindness & generosity:

Thank you all SO much for continuing to
rock with us & help us build this
more equitable & imaginative world. by @weareyase
