GSEC's G-Spot: Recent Episodes
Gender & Sexuality Equity Coalition (GSEC)
Welcome to our first ever podcast! We're the Gender & Sexuality Equity Coalition (GSEC), and we're here to talk about current events, personal experiences, and an exploration of empowering topics for all students.
We aim to challenge societal norms through opportunities for leadership, personal development, and referral services. The GSEC seeks to provide feminist, LGBTQIA+, and community building education, while simultaneously creating safe spaces for all those marginalized by society.
Each episode will be hosted by a particular program, each with a different topic and special guests.
Trigger Warning: This episode briefly mentions sexual assault and/or sexual violence. Please listen up to your comfortability and take care of yourself as needed.
