The series of sex ed videos are being produced in conjunction with youth health organizations Advocates for Youth, Answer, and Youth Tech Health and animation studio, The Moving Company, to help break the ice and start these critical conversations so that kids get the accurate information they need.

I was fortunate to work with the AMAZE.org team as a youth, edtech, and social media analyst during the early phases of this project and I was really impressed with all the different stakeholders and educators involved to bring AMAZE.org to life.
