Sex ed makes cool adults (with Kimberly Molitor)
In this episode, Kimberly Molitor, the Executive Director of Teen Empower, sets the record straight about sex education: it definitely needs a rebrand because it’s so much more that that! We talk about how Teen Empower helps teens navigate healthy relationships, manage risky situations, and understand their bodies and health—while avoiding legal trouble for STI transmission. In Oklahoma, where sex ed is often outdated and inconsistent, there’s a clear need for evidence-based, expert-led programs. Someone needs to tell teens that Mountain Dew is not a plausible birth control method. Kimberly also highlights the strong parental support for Teen Empower and their peer educator program, which empowers high school students to teach each other about healthy relationships, risk reduction, and pregnancy prevention.
