Biography

Felicia Gisondi is the Executive Director and Founder of Sex and Self. She holds a bachelor’s in education and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Psychiatry at McGill University. At just nineteen years old, Gisondi created the organization that she did not know she needed growing up, and unknowingly becoming a trailblazer in the Sexual and Reproductive health industry. Gisondi founded Sex and Self in 2019 with the support of the Mary H. Brown Endowment Fund at McGill University after recognizing a disproportionate disparity in comprehensive and inclusive sexuality education for individuals regarding their sexual health and bodily autonomy on college campuses and in schools. In just three years, Gisondi has expanded the organization to 7000+ individuals aged between 12-24 by tackling the problem at its root. Sex and Self and all affiliated initiatives aim to provide a safe space for individuals who have not previously had the opportunity to reclaim or engage positively with their own sexual narrative.
