Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!

Prepare to be inspired as Goddess Cecilia, a Filipina pleasure educator, shares her transformative journey towards creating healing spaces for BIPOC women and femmes. Discover how a serendipitous encounter in a Facebook group led her to the empowering realm of sex education and advocacy at the Sex Geek Summer Camp. Cecilia's insights into reclaiming pleasure narratives for survivors of sexual violence shed light on the impact of trauma influenced by oppressive systems, and highlight the crucial role of collective support in healing.
We break down cultural misconceptions about Filipinos, challenging stereotypes and celebrating the richness of Filipino heritage. From language struggles to cultural pride, Cecilia paints a vivid picture of the immigrant experience in the United States. Personal anecdotes reveal the absurdity of common stereotypes, while also touching on serious topics like the challenges of assimilation and the complex dynamics within Filipino families, especially when addressing issues like familial abuse and divorce.
Cecilia's passion for building supportive networks resonates deeply as she discusses the importance of community for trauma survivors. The episode highlights the creation of "Tending the Garden," a digital platform providing resources for sexual assault survivors, emphasizing inclusivity and understanding. Cecilia's story of navigating motherhood as a survivor adds a heartfelt layer to the conversation, showcasing the strength of reparenting and conscious parenting in shaping a better future. Join us as we explore the power of community, resilience, and the shared journey towards healing and empowerment.

Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.
