About
Why I founded O.school
I was raised in a religious, conservative, first- generation Filipino-American family that only taught abstinence. Struggling with my own sexuality and the shameful messages I received about sex and the importance of virginity, I couldn't find reliable resources online. I became obsessed with the question: what exists between Planned Parenthood and porn? I needed help, information, and support when I was 18, and it took me years to feel confident and comfortable with my sexuality. Our mission at O.school is to make sure the next generation has more trusted resources than we did.
