This episodes ATX celebrity discussion panel on “Self-Care and Sexual Health” Panel led by Dr. Uchenna “UC” Ossai, creator of the adult sex ed course, “Woke is the New Sexy.” Dr. UC is assistant professor at the University of Texas Dell Medical School and Pelvic Health Program Manager at UT Health Austin, and spends her days treating people with both sexual and pelvic floor dysfunction, and her evenings educating the masses on everything that has to do with “sexytime.” When it comes to sexual intelligence and great sex education, UC embraces always being unapologetically real, happily crunk, and deliciously kind.Joining Dr. UC on the panel discussion will be Sensual Embodiment Specialist, Member of the American Dance Therapy Association, and former dancer for Beyoncè, Lily Shepard, along with musical guests, Gina Chavez, Tameca Jones and NNEDI of Trouble in the Streets.

We know talking about sensitive topics can make us feel silly, so we just plan to go with the flow and keep the laughs coming throughout the show with a comedic stand-up performance by Austin’s own Sam Noorani, as seen on Laugh Exchange Live, That Time of the Month, and The Coven.
