Facilitators


Meet Your Spring 2013 Facilitators! 

 

Julia

Julia is a third-year at Cal majoring in Sociology and minoring in Education, with her own gender & intersectionality twist. Just when she thought Cal couldn't get any more vagtastic after performing in the Vagina Monologues, Femsex swooped in and rocked her world in a whole new way. When taking a break from thinking about all things feminista, Julia loves cuddling, facial piercings, bonfires, knitting and all things Maine. Oh, and her  fantastic fellow femsex facilitators. Whaddup, alliteration? 


Danielle

Danielle is a graduating senior obsessed with dogs, oatmeal, and trying to learn how to twerk. She's finishing up a double major in Cognitive Science and Psychology, but would probably study City Planning and Gender and Women's Studies if she could do it all over. She still thinks brains are really cool, though. While Danielle is absolutely terrified about graduating, she is so grateful for all she's learned through FemSex thus far, and could not be more stoked for yet another FemSexy semester! 

Casey 

Casey is a third-year Cal student from Long Island, NY.  This is her second semester facilitating FemSex, or as she likes to call it, "the best class at Cal/on Earth."  Unfortunately, there is no FemSex major so Casey settled for a major in Political Economy with a concentration and minor in Gender and Women's Studies.  When she's not busy being a student or facilitator, Casey spends most of her free time cooking, playing the guitar, and snowboarding less than she'd like to.  Sometimes she just wants to give it all up and become Rachel Maddow.
 
Dee 

Dee is a third -year Cal student who loves extremes. She is majoring in Ethnic Studies with a potential double major in Practice of Art.  Her level of energy is usually somewhere near a zillion, due to her over-indulgence in caffeinated drinks.  She loves to do yoga on a regular basis, get tattoos, and piercings.  You can spot her running around campus between the Multicultural Community Center and GenEq, or somewhere on the dance floor dancing on her own. This is Dee’s third time facilitating Femsex and is excited to share, grow and heal with everyone in the program this semester!
 

Emily

Emily is passionate about living in a way that brings love and fun into everything that she does, and about collaborating her education, time, and talents with others to engage in activism and to address, understand, and challenge inequalities and injustices.  She is a Femsex enthusiast and is super excited to be able to facilitate Femsex and to share, learn, and grow with the class.  Emily is a Gender and Women’s Studies major with an LGBT minor.  She is particularly interested in exploring the spectrum of gender variances, sexual desires and practices, communication skills and practices of self-awareness, and exposing and addressing the complex intersections of multiple systems of oppression that create and perpetuate unjust hierarchies.  Emily is always excited to learn, and enjoys hearing the multitude of different experiences and perspectives that students bring to the Femsex class.  In her spare time, she also enjoys hiking, cycling, and gazing at the stars and the cloud.


Shalin

Shalin is a second year at Cal. She is still figuring out her major and how to keep her room clean, among other things. You may spot her on payday indulging in new piercings at Zebra and deciding which color hair dye to buy. Shalin also interns at Berkeley's MCC. She loves buying new clothes, getting rid of old clothes, fried ice cream, living the YOLO lifestyle, and re-reading Dorian Gray. 

 Roz 

Roz enters her senior year at Berkeley full of FemSex energy. She lives in the littlest room of a big house on the north side, but more importantly hails from Indiana (the cross-roads of America, according to the state quarter). Roz studies Gender and Women's Studies and minors in English. She reads a lot of magazines and listens almost exclusively to Drake. She looks forward to exploring hella questions and arriving at zero answers this semester in FemSex. 

Teresa

Teresa is graduating this year and totally freaking out about what to do for the rest of her life.  The only sure thing is that her future must always remain relevant to all things vagina related.  She’s in love with James Deen, food and cooking, and working out with the uh-mazing Shaun T.  She’s also currently an intern at Geneq for the Sexual-Violence cohort and a cast member in the Vagina Monologues.  Needless to say, she’s trying her best to be a vagina warrior in the extreme.  Femsex has been the catalyst for all this cunt love, and she hopes to continue being a part of this beautiful, life-changing, and wonderful journey.
