Our Whole Lives Curriculum has been working to provide holistic sex education through the UUA and UCC for 50 years now. Still, with attacks labeling schools and educators as groomers and purveyors of “critical race theory,” we are sitting at a precipice of a widening gap for healthy sex education for students of all backgrounds. Join Black father, educator, and poet Tai Amri Spann-Ryan as he explores why sex education must be anti-racist to be truly holistic.

Tai Amri Spann-Ryan, is Lawrence, Kansas’ 2016 Langston Hughes Poetry Award Recipient, and is a co-founder of the collaborative group BLACK (Black Literature and Arts Collective of Kansas) Lawrence where he organizes events and readings. He was the chief editor of Tendrel: Naropa University’s Journal on Diversity, self-published the chapbook Ancient Writings of Dark Prophet The Undisciplined Mystic, and has published work in Spirit Rising: Young Quaker Voices edited by Angelina Conti and Justice Calls: Sermons of Welcome and Affirmation edited by Phil Snyder.
