Gala RFAQ

Quebec solo business woman of the year!

It’s with great pleasure that I can share that yesterday I was chosen as the winner in the “audacious solopreneur” category at the Réseau des femmes d’affaire du Québec . Pictured here with Sandra Filopoulos from Filo import who presented the award.

Thanks to the event organizers and all the support staff, and well done to all the finalists and winners. The event was warm and there was a lot of benevolence and support among the nominees.

And for me, who loves anything sparkling, shinny and glamorous, it was a feast for the eyes!

I’m putting below the speech I shared, because beyond the glamour, there’s definitely a political issue around sexual health!

 

Thank you

Actually, it’s the RFAQ that’s bold to have chosen SEX-ED +.

If you don’t know what I do, I’ll describe it in a few words: I make genitalia that are used to train medical staff and accompany patients on their sexual health care journey.

It’s a bold move, because it’s never been done before. We really still have blinkers on when it comes to talking about sexed bodies.

So I’m the first to produce realistic genitalia that are used all over the world in medical and educational contexts.

But the most daring aspect of this project is that it wants to become free and accessible to everyone. Because scientific knowledge shouldn’t be accessible only to those who can pay.

The original goal was to make the encyclopedia on genitalia available in two years’ time, with 3D printable models. Considering the current political context, we’re really going to have to speed up the process, because the funds earmarked for sexual health are going to disappear.

If you’re interested in supporting the advancement of knowledge in sexual health, here and elsewhere, I invite you to come and talk to me.

On that note, I’d like to thank you again and wish you an excellent evening.
