SlutTalk: Reclaiming Slut One Story at a Time
Description:
SlutTalk is a critical conversation that centers women and girl's experiences with being labeled a slut. Founder Alicia Swiz leads an interactive lecture compelled by her own “slut” story before facilitating others to share their stories. One part feminist theory, one part stand up comedy, SlutTalk incites a dialogue that encourages critical thought about the stigmas and politics we apply to women’s sexual identity, activity and desire.
