Trigger Warning:

This episode contains discussions about sexual assault and survivorship that may be triggering for some listeners.

Hi, everyone! This is Goddess Cecilia, and welcome to Raw Bar where we talk about sex positivity, pleasure, and education. This is where we break taboos and stereotypes imposed by our cultural norms and society’s perceptions and standards.

We’re down to our last episode for the season, and what way to end it than by sitting down with my fellow speakers from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) Speakers Bureau, Corey and Jocely.

We won’t talk about our personal experiences here. Instead, we will give you a glimpse of what survivorship feels and looks like and how we are helping support other members of the community with education, advocacy, and prevention initiatives.

I hope you take the time to join us in this intense but necessary discussion. In the meantime, remember to love yourself and show yourself some compassion. Stream the episode and subscribe to my podcast for more engaging, stimulating sex-related discussions.

In This Episode

• Our long journey to healing, social change, and advocacy

• What peer support really means and why it matters in survivorship

• Workshops and events that leave good (or bad) impressions and feelings

• Common misconceptions and challenges in survivorship

• What is self-care in survivorship?

We’re almost nearing the end, but we are definitely not ending this season with a juicy, yummy episode with none other than Sydney Rae Chin, a queer, non-monogamous sex educator and creative from Philly!

And we’ve got so much to unpack here. We explore the ins and outs of polyamory, which is something not many people completely understand. In particular, what are the challenges of explaining it to traditional Asian families?

And is it normal (and acceptable) to feel jealous when you are in a non-monogamous relationship? What happens when one of the partnerships ends?

But wait, there’s more. We’ll enjoy some great talk about food and how it can bring people together and teach us a thing (or a lot) about our identities.

Come and celebrate Sydney’s birthday with me in this stimulating, insightful episode. And don’t forget to check out her IG called Sexy Soup Dumpings, a safe space for non-monogamous people of color.

In This Episode

• From the movies to reiki and survivorship work for non-monogamous people

• What people don’t get about polyamory

• Why conversations, and the tools to communicate, are essential in polyamory

• Violence in the Asian sex-ed community

• Learning and storytelling through food
