How do you accept rejection gracefully? Why is rejecting someone so awkward? How does our fear of rejection affect consent? That and more when your pals at Speak About It get the goss with the Maine Wing Woman, Danica. 

Sexting. It freaks your parents, professors, and deans out, but it's a pretty normal part of dating and hooking up. Speak About It is back on the show to demystify sexting and social media with some tips and tools for how to sext with consent. We're not going to tell you not to do it, instead, we want to look at why we sext, share our own sexting stories and figure out how we can sext in ways that are consensual, healthy, safe and fun. Because who doesn't love a steamy selfie or a peach emoji every once in a while. (The answer is not everyone does, so let's talk about it!)

Do you feel nervous or awkward talking about sex? Join, college success coach, Katy Oliveira as she chats with Speak About It about sex, dating, hooking up, consent and healthy relationships. Talking about it is so awkward, right? But it doesn't have to be! The consent educators at Speak About It are young people like you.
