Meet the Staff

Brooke Xie

Brooke, 16, is on cloud nine to be starting her second year writing for Sex, Etc.! This year, she hopes to cover LBGTQ rights and history, including the installation of gender-neutral bathrooms at her school. Brooke, whose favorite subject is history, has an interest in social justice and wants to go into law when she graduates. When she’s not writing, you might catch her freestyling on her Chinese dance team or eating a popsicle. Her favorite movie? Shrek. Brooke wants to help share comprehensive sex ed as opposed to sex ed that spreads fear or is heteronormative. She says she’s a part of the Sex, Etc. staff to help teens like herself get better sex ed!
