Storying Sex: Podcasting Activism, Digital Life, and Sexual Health

March 21, 2022

Storying Sex: Podcasting Activism, Digital Life, and Sexual Health collects and curates (his)stories of sexual health communication among LGBTQI BIPOC communities on social media and other digital technologies. Storying Sex highlights how LGBTQI BIPOC have used social media and other technologies to gather information about their sexual health, assess that information, and present that information to others via folk approaches to science and health communication.

By sharing stories of sexual health activism and communication, Storying Sex highlights the situated expertise of community members and activists in queer health, destabilizes the discourses and practices that mediate LGBTQI BIPOC experiences in medical contexts, and offers a platform for LGBTQIA BIPOC to envision more just health futures around sexual health.

Storying Sex works to:

1. platform LGBTQI people of color and their sexual health stories so they can share their stories as a form of health equity activism;

2. showcase the ways LGBTQI people of color navigate their sexual health beyond traditional health literacy approaches, which means just reading and writing around medical information; and

3. use digital technologies and social media to bring these stories to the public.
