Bread & Butter is a trauma-informed, consent-based, culturally grounded reproductive education program for people of all ages.

We use survivor-centered teaching methods to support:

• body literacy

• consent & boundaries

• sexuality & pleasure

• anatomy beyond shame

• pregnancy & fertility

• contraception options

• reproductive rights & justice

• trauma responses

• nervous system education

• gender-expansive care

• medical advocacy

• healing after harm

We teach with care, clarity, and community, not fear or humiliation.

Because your body literacy is foundational — the bread and butter of care, autonomy, and healing. Because survivors deserve education that is:

• nourishing

• dignified

• practical

• accessible

• rooted in truth, not taboo

This is education that feeds your spirit and supports your liberation.

Bread & Butter is for:

• survivors healing from trauma

• teens and young adults learning about their bodies

• queer and trans youth and adults

• parents wanting healthier conversations at home

• caregivers, teachers, doulas, and community workers

• anyone seeking shame-free, inclusive reproductive knowledge

You do not need prior knowledge.

You do not need to be “comfortable” with the topics.

You simply deserve a place where your questions are honored.

Most sex ed:

• is shame-based

• centers white, thin, cisgender bodies

• erases survivors

• teaches fear, not autonomy

• ignores culture and power

• prioritizes anatomy over lived experience

Bread & Butter does the opposite.

• Survivor-Centered: We teach in ways that honor trauma responses, nervous system needs, and emotional pacing.

• Somatic & Nervous-System Based: We help people understand why their bodies respond the way they do, not “what’s wrong with them.”

• Culturally Grounded: Our materials uplift Black, Brown, Indigenous, fat, disabled, queer, and trans bodies.

• Gender-Inclusive: We do not assume gender, anatomy, identity, or family structure.

• Anti-Carceral + Anti-Oppressive: We challenge medical racism, reproductive violence, and historical bodily control.

• Non-Graphic Visuals: All anatomy diagrams are symbolic, gentle, and survivor-safe.

• Consent-Driven: Nothing is required. Participation is always optional.

By the end of Bread & Butter, you will:

• understand your body without shame

• know your rights in medical spaces

• recognize trauma responses with compassion

• have tools for grounding and advocacy

• feel more connected to your body’s wisdom

• have language you can use with partners, providers, and loved ones

• feel empowered in your autonomy

This is education that liberates—not restricts.

Bread & Butter uses a sliding scale, with:

• scholarships

• sponsored seats

• community-funded spots

• free to low-cost offerings

We refuse to gatekeep body literacy.
