Pure House | The Collective Sex | Brooklyn, NY

Ali is proud to announce that she has become a company member of The Collective Sex: a space for storytelling, a container for vulnerability, a site for intersectionality. Once you start talking about sex, it’s never about sex.

It’s mission: to transform our culture into one that approaches sex with open communication, vulnerability, intentionality, and presence. More information about the collective can be found here: http://www.thecollectivesex.com/

Each month The Collective Sex holds a storytelling salon, based on a theme. Last month at THE(SEX)TALK Ali shared a story (who taught me to count the men?) about the harmful role body image can play in shaping a young girl’s sexual education. Please join her at The Collective Sex’s next salon– A(SEXY)WINTER– on Sunday December 6 at 7pm to see what story Ali will share next! Tickets can be purchased here: http://asexywinter.splashthat.com/
