Her recent book, The Sex Myth, presents the provocative hypothesis that the sexual revolution beginning the 1960s has confined us in our own narratives. She posits that our performative speaking keeps us from actually practicing truly liberated, honest, and authentic sexualities. Rachel's book has been adapted into a devised play where each cast conjures and creates the play anew. You can find Rachel on Twitter at @rachelhills.

When she was 7 years old, her family immigrated to the US when her father was offered a role to lead the church's music ministry.We talk about her journey of awakening, finding her voice, creating space for advocacy and awareness and challenging toxic narratives, especially those that are pervasive in religion. Prisca received her Masters of Divinity from Vanderbilt University and speaks with such gratitude about the professor that affirmed her identify and inspired her to advocate for herself.
