Emily Nagoski, PhD, is the award-winning author of the New York Times bestsellers Come As You Are and Come Together, as well as The Come As You Are Workbook, and the coauthor, with her sister, Amelia, of the New York Times bestseller Burnout . She earned an MS in counseling and a PhD in health behavior, both from Indiana University, with clinical and research training at the Kinsey Institute. Now she combines sex education and stress education to teach women to live with confidence and joy inside their bodies. She lives in Massachusetts with two dogs and a cartoonist. Robyn Manning-Samuels, MSPS, MCHES , is a health and sexuality educator, writer, and maybe someday a librarian. Robyn spent most of her career developing and implementing events on college campuses to help students learn and understand the nuances around their sexuality and general well-being. Now she hopes to bring those topics to the wider community, either through her writing or public librarianship. She's white presenting, genderqueer, queer, and married to a white cisgender man, which basically means that most of Robyn's identities are largely invisible and/or assumed.
It's a privilege but also complicated, like most things in life are.
