Contrary to popular belief, self-esteem, self-concept, and self-love are not built in isolation. They are relational, and we have community - that currently resides on Facebook- for and by Black Womxn to learn about being more Free, Fabulous, and better F*cked.
Why Free, Fabulous, and F*cked? Because we aren’t often any of these things. We are scared of free, pretend at fabulous, and lie on f*cked. Let's live it for real.
Free means being free of the gaze and expectations of anyone who is not you, especially the white gaze, patriarchy, and your parents.
Fabulous means not just knowing yourself – good, bad, ugly, but also accepting and learning to love those pieces.
F*cked is not just for sexual pleasure, though the Dr. Donna Oriowo brand is ALL. FOR. THAT!! But it also means living a pleasure-filled life in general.

Book Dr. Donna Oriowo

"Amazing! I learned so much from her webinar in general. "

Admittedly, this is a conversation I dread having. This webinar addressed my own narrative around my children being sexual beings and how that was impacting my ability to effectively have this conversation and support them in informed decision-making. Dr. Donna guides you through tackling your fears and own narrative around sex and sexuality. The talk is for anyone who is connected to youth. Fear doesn’t prepare our youth to navigate their own sexual identity and if we don’t, someone else will. Have the talk. Let Dr. Donna help you!

I loved the presentation,

I think the dating advice or at least learning how to talk to your family and friends about the topic was helpful as well.
I appreciated the reminder and the amount of information and examples about the standards of beauty being around light skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. I teach classes to girls and adults (mostly their moms) together, and want to make sure I incorporate some of this info into that class so we can keep expanding the definition of “normal” and “beauty”.

This was the most productive, relevant and timely training I have attended. It challenged me and pushed me to do some REAL personal work. Thank you !!!

"This was a powerful training"

I feel like I can have those conversations as a black woman and not feel so judged. I learned about racial identity and how to integrate race and culture into sex ed work. I also learned more about intersectionality and how/where I fit in!

I thought Dr. Oriowo’s use of a variety of engaging interactive learning strategies was well-thought-out.

As a trainer myself, I sometimes wonder “is now the right time for small groups? Paired discussion? Large group movement?” and Dr. Oriowo absolutely nailed each selection. Beyond appreciating the topic presented in its own right, I admired the thought that went into presenting a session for such a large group...Watching her facilitation skills leaves me thinking that if she is on the agenda, I'm attending, whatever the topic.
-William "Bill" Taverner
Executive Director for the Center of Sex Ed
"Illuminative and transforming"

I had an opportunity to hear Dr. Donna speak the National Sex Ed Conference in 2017 and her presentation was illuminative and transforming. Her discussion about negotiating race and some of the challenges that exist for people of color was sobering and refreshing. I’m looking forward to future collaborations with her.”
