Tara Michaela Jones

     Tara Michaela Jones (she/her) is a black, queer sex educator based in New York. She earned a bachelor's degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies from New York University in May 2022, and since then has been creating content, writing and speaking publicly about all things sexuality. Her work focuses on how injustice manifests in sexual interactions, specifically racism and racial capitalism. She also explores how stigma keeps us all from being our best selves, and how we can close the orgasm gap. 

 

    After creating a private Instagram account in 2015 which documented many of her adolescent struggles in exploring sexuality as a young black woman, accepting her body, and experiencing shame, she realized she had the potential to become a go-to person in her community to openly discuss these issues. She continues to use her digital platform and written pieces to connect with those around her. 

 

    In 2022, she founded The Youth Sexpert Program, a 501(c)(3) organization that trains the next generation of sex educators.
