Emily Stern,
a.k.a.
Spider offers 1-3 hour long interactive workshop about AIDS, safe sex,
and sexual stigmas. She says, "I create a space for people to
interact on a personal level, consider the many contributing factors
surrounding HIV/AIDS, and share their stories within a facilitated discussion.
My mother died from complications of AIDS in 1993. She contracted HIV by
not having safe-sex. Her death was a catalyst for me to share her story,
my memories and family photographs, and combine it with my knowledge about
HIV/AIDS, self-defense, gender, the affects of sexual stigmas, oppression, and
the possible link between self-esteem and STD's." Email:
