Story of how we came together and created the Summit
Nika, Inez, and Maggie came together over our commitment to the world getting in touch with and empowered as sexual beings. Sex is fundamental to being human, as important as food, water, and air yet we don’t talk about it. We are both tantalized and appalled. Shamed and aroused.
We each had created our own niche conversations around the power of sex. Together we decided to create the Global Sexual Health and Freedom Summit where all people around the world could come together in a brave and collaborative space to learn and explore. To be in a conversation steeped in acceptance, diversity, and understanding. Where growth can occur, knowledge gained, and healing takes place.
The Global Sexual Health and Freedom Summit is that vehicle.
