S1/Ep.09 - Sex Ed Part Three
This is the final part of my three-part mini-series about sex ed. with my friend Ashley. If you haven’t yet listened to the rest, find Episodes 7 and 8, and listen to them first.
In this last instalment, Ashley and I focus on inclusivity. In a world where marginalised folk have historically had to hide their identities, good sexual citizenship includes celebrating everyone for who they are.

S1/Ep.07 - Sex Ed Part One
Against the backdrop of gender-based violence, hook-up culture, a wholly inadequate understanding of consent by many, sexual abuse, rampant sexism and misogyny, and a lack of sexual and gender inclusivity – which leads to real harm for LGBTQIA folk – I have come to believe that a prudish approach to sex ed is damaging, and we must do better. We need to help children and teenagers understand what it means to be good sexual citizens. My Canadian friend, Ashley joins me for part one of this conversation.

S1/Ep.05 - Supremacy Part One
In part one of “Supremacy”, Ayanda Zaca and Bruce talk about the power of friendship, supremacy in the context of race, and false narratives that support supremacy. Ayanda shares vulnerably about some of his own experiences and challenges the presumption that, based on skin colour, some people hold more value than others.

S1/Ep.04 - Synthesis
I can easily give the impression that I’m simply burning everything to the ground. Still, the truth is, in all of the deconstructing, I am looking to build again – I might not be sure of what that looks like, but I do desire spiritual connection and practice. My friend, Stanley Biggs, offers an alternative perspective on faith deconstruction that has me thinking.
