The Longest Shortest Time
EPISODE #242: Actually, Sir, That’s Not How You Put on a Condom
Zaraia Fabunmi is a remarkable person. In high school, she was a part of all kinds of clubs and advocacy projects — and she was so driven to learn about sexual and reproductive health that she became a sex educator and a doula!

Zaraia is a senior in college now. When she applied to be a panelist in our pilot, YOU KNOW WHAT, featuring young people talking about sex, dating, and relationships, she was an obvious fit.
Every time I talk to her, I learn something new, so I asked her to return the show to share some of her insights. I was especially excited to hear about her research project last semester at the Comprehensive Rural Health Project (CRHP) in Jamkhed, India.

Tune in to hear how Zaraia has used her sex ed training to help her peers — and, at times, her teachers.
