Dr. Laura McGuire (they/them) is a survivor, scholar, and seminary student. They work as a sexologist and full-spectrum doula who teaches, writes and speaks on topics concerning consent, trauma, cultural humility, and queer inclusion through The National Center for Equity and Agency. They live in Florida with their spouse, two children, and three pets. Most days you will find them enjoying the outdoors, painting, or reading a book that completely challenge their existential beliefs.
Consent must be expanded in its conceptualization and teaching. Consent education for all is vital, it is not political fodder—it is the foundation for civility, human dignity, decency, and the creation and retention of a safe and equitable society.
This isn’t a paywall. It’s a promise.
