Sex Educator Spotlight: Justine Ang Fonte, M.Ed, MPH

What Project(s) In Sex Ed Are You Currently Working On?


I am currently devising a parent workshop series for the Parent Association at my school for grades 4-12. After conducting two well-attended parent events on “How to answer questions about sexuality” I’ve convinced the administration and the community that this work is relevant!

Bio:

Unafraid to admit it, I’m passionate about sex so I acted on it like the average 17-year-old in the U.S…by being a peer educator in high school. After college, I moved to Hawai`i and became a middle school math teacher while obtaining my Master’s in Education. After witnessing the health disparity amongst my students and how it impacted their learning, I landed on the island of Manhattan to get my Master’s in Public Health from Columbia. For my research. I went to the Philippines to evaluate the country’s first sex ed curriculum and became involved with The Vagina Monologues. Basically, my Filipino-Catholic childhood and 9 years of nuns in grade school led me to moan publicly on a New York City stage. Now, I am The Dalton School’s Health Coordinator for grades 4-12 teaching health classes covering it all from puberty to pornography while organizing sex-positive programs for the school community.
