There is the form of just casual comments about your body. Oh, you’ve not been working out, or something quite simple like you have gained a few pounds during Christmas, what have you been eating, and all those types of things are about our bodies. They might not feel that sexual, but actually, they can become quite sexual and hurtful.” Let’s Connect Connect with Susie March on; ● LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susie-march-a2176748/?originalSubdomain=de ● Website:  https://www.susiemarch.com/ ● Email: [email protected] Connect with Dr. Dana Specker Watts on; ● Twitter: https://twitter.com/teachwatts Connect with Mike Pierre on; ● Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ayitis_SigmaMan More resources ● Head over to iss.edu/events to see future PD's that ISS is offering for the SY 22-23. ● Join the Diversity Collaborative platform-https://info.iss.edu/sign-up-diversity-collaborative
