Asexual inclusion in the workplace matters! It was amazing to return to the Snapchat HQ to speak to their staff about all things asexuality from a Black perspective! I also worked with them on a filter that educates their users about asexuality. πŸ’œ

Remember everyone: people only wear clothes, stand up, have hair and wash themselves if they're 'actively sexual.' That's why people going through 'dry spells' always smell funny, are laying on the ground, never wear clothes and they're bald.
