BREMEN, Germany — Fun Factory USA will present an online workshop about "radical sex positivity" hosted by Ericka Hart.
Fun Factory is organizing the workshop led by Hart — a Black queer activist, writer and award-winning sex educator — “in support of the anti-racist movement that gained momentum this past summer,” a rep explained.
Participants “will discuss how white people can approach customers of color more thoughtfully, how they can support coworkers of color, what consent means in the workplace and how justice movements are connected to the movement for sex positivity,” the rep added.
The workshop is free for people in any role within the sex and pleasure industries.
“As a brand committed to inclusivity and self-expression, Fun Factory understands that racism, ableism, transphobia and other prejudices stand in the way of our mission — and more importantly, our people,” the rep explained. “If our industry can work to confront and transform those prejudices, we believe that members of marginalized groups will be freer to experience pleasure.”
Hart has a Master’s of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University and currently teaches at Columbia University’s School of Social Work and the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College.
Hart’s philosophy, the rep said, “positions human sexual expression as inextricable from overall human health and its intersections with race, gender, chronic illness and disability.”
Kristen Tribby, Fun Factory’s head of global marketing said, “We’d like to think that the sex and pleasure industries are the most forward-thinking. This workshop will help us put our ideals into practice, so we can create a positive environment for people of every race, ability, sexuality, size and gender.”
The workshop will be offered virtually in two parts on Wednesday, February 17 and Wednesday, February 24 at 11 a.m. (PST).
Participants will receive the link to the event by email after they register here.
