Sexual wellness... Weeds or flowers? Water what you want to grow. This exercise is courtesy of Dr. Emily Nagoski's Sexual Garden Metaphor she gives in her books "Come as You Are" and "Come Together." Identify the conditioned beliefs (some examples in the top row) that are weeds planted long before we had the critical thinking skills to evaluate the messages and intentionally challenge them, pulling them out, and making room for the more affirming, supportive, and scientifically accurate messages (examples in the bottom row) that can help our sexuality flourish! Try filling out your own garden. See what you notice. Then...weed often and water what you want to grow! --- Sources: Nagoski, E.

Accepting and embracing sexual empowerment need to be built as habits and practices. One of the ways that you can turn it into your habit is by doing these practices: 1. Open Communication: Enhancing sexual satisfaction and desire involves open communication between partners, fostering greater well-being and satisfaction in the relationship. 2. Self Exploration: increased openness to sexual exploration is associated with positive mental health functioning and facilitates sexual identity development. 3. Promote Equality: Traditional beliefs may empower men but hinder partners' preferences, while gender-equal couples enhance intimacy through increased communication, mutual sexual self-efficacy, and shared values of equality, leading to greater satisfaction.

Growing up we all went through the confusion and curiosity that came with adolescence. Our bodies were changing, and so were our emotions. Personally what I find most challenging for an adolescent is the silence before and even today. We don't talk openly about the changes or the questions that swirl in the mind. We feel embarrassed to ask, like we should already have known the answers. To every adolescent, girl and boy knowing that you have the right to understand your body, to make decisions about it, and to seek information without judgment is empowering. It isn't just about learning the basics of how our bodies work, but about realizing that you have the right to protect yourself and to say no. It becames clear that being informed isn't just about avoiding risks—it is about respecting yourself and ensuring others do too. The importance of sexual rights and access to information should became personal. If adolescents have information sooner they feel less alone and more confident. This is why it’s crucial to ensure that every adolescent has the right to accurate information about their bodies and their sexual health. It’s not just about education—it’s about empowerment, respect, and making informed choices that can shape the rest of their lives. @FaithtoActionet Faith to Action Network #KijanaNiSharp #InternationalYouthDay #SonOfAWoman
