Summary
Dawn Goldstein, M.Ed., is a literacy educator, wellness advocate, College of Education Professor at NSU Fischler, and Founder & CEO of Freely Reading — a platform built on the conviction that Literacy Is Liberation. What is sexual literacy, and how is it different from sex education? How does shame about our bodies and sexuality show up in your private life? You say "Sexual Literacy is Mental Health Literacy" — what do you mean by that? How does the behavior play out by a person who has been sexually abused? What are the key questions you ask someone who has been sexually abused? Dawn Goldstein Dawn Goldstein, M.Ed., is a literacy educator, wellness advocate, College of Education Professor at NSU Fischler, and Founder & CEO of Freely Reading — a platform built on the conviction that Literacy Is Liberation. With 30+ years of experience across K–12 and higher education, Dawn has spent her career naming the conversations institutions are afraid to have. Her signature framework — Sexual Literacy is Mental Health Literacy — challenges leaders, coaches, and educators to understand that what we don't teach about bodies, boundaries, shame, and agency doesn't disappear. It shows up in our teams, our relationships, and our leadership. Dawn's work moves people from shame to agency — and she believes that journey begins with learning to read the stories we were never given permission to tell.
