YK’s FOXY sex-ed program in the Globe

In July, I had the special privilege of spending a week at Blachford Lake Lodge with 25 teenage girls from across the territories and 10 talented and compassionate women facilitators. The teens were there for a revolutionary new sex ed program called FOXY that informs and inspires leadership through art. I was there to write about it for The Globe and Mail. Here’s the story and a few photos from the week.
