iroha x Ericka Hart

Ericka Hart (pronouns: she/they) is a Black queer non-binary femme activist, writer and award-winning sexuality educator with a Master’s of Education in Human Sexuality from Widener University. 

Ericka’s work broke ground when she went topless showing her double mastectomy scars in public in 2016. Since then, she has been in demand at colleges and universities across the country, featured in countless digital and print publications like Vogue, Washington Post, Allure, Harper’s Bazaar, VICE, PAPER Mag, BBC News, Cosmopolitan, Vanity Fair, W Magazine, Glamour, Elle, and Essence. 

Ericka’s voice is rooted in leading edge thought around human sexual expression as inextricable to overall human health and its intersections with race, gender, chronic illness and disability. Both radical and relatable, she continues to push well beyond the threshold of sex positivity.

For the past 15 years, she has taught comprehensive, trauma-informed, consent- and pleasure-based sex education from an anti-racist, queer lens at the elementary, high school, undergraduate and graduate levels. This includes 4 years at Columbia University’s School of Social Work, the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College and now as the founding instructor of their own AASECT certified sexuality education training program, Sex Ed as Resistance,which has matriculated more than 250 students as of today. More significantly, though, Ericka is a bratty switchy Sagittarius service bottom and misses Whitney more than you.
