Our Team

The School of Sexuality Project is powered by a fiercely passionate, radically loving team of educators, artists, therapists, and organizers—many of whom are queer, BIPOC, disabled, and first-generation change-makers. We're not just colleagues; we're a chosen family bound by a shared mission to rewrite the rules of sex ed through humor, healing, and heart. As a grassroots movement, we lead with lived experience, build with community, and hustle with intention—proving that big change can come from bold ideas, deep care, and a whole lot of glitter.

Bridgett Khoury (She/her)

Bridgett Khoury (she/her) is a queer Palestinian Chicana mother of three and the visionary founder of The School of Sexuality Project. Growing up in Temecula, California—a community known for its vineyards and conservative values—Bridgett experienced firsthand the profound impact of inadequate, abstinence-only sex education. That absence of accurate, inclusive information shaped her commitment to creating learning environments where young people feel seen, heard, and empowered to make informed decisions about their bodies and relationships.

Bridgett holds a B.A. in Feminist Studies and is currently pursuing an M.A. in Education Foundations. With over a decade of experience as a certified sex educator, she has built a reputation for destigmatizing and re-humanizing sexual-wellness education through humor, storytelling, and human-centered design. As founder of The School of Sexuality Project, Bridgett has spent the past five years developing interactive curricula, peer-led workshops, and community events that exceed state standards and center the needs of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and working-class youth.
