About this episode...
This weeks nugget continues our discussion on sex, disability, and accessibility. We get to hear Monkey chatting with Robin Mandell - a writer, health and sexuality advocate, volunteer and much more! Robin resides in Seattle, WA.
Robin has been working in the sexuality advocate area for around 8 years now and spends a lot of time speaking at different conferences, bringing the disability piece into those situations. She also spends a lot of time reaching out to people online in public spaces like facebook and twitter. She casually reaches out and speaks with disabled folks as well in a one on one format. She is modest and does not believe she has had a huge impact on the community, but she does like to think she has been able to reach out to a few people. Her goal has always been to reach out to disabled people about sexuality and to the general public about disability and sexuality.
Robin has created a website called Ready Sexy Able. This site is really an extension of who Robin is and is aimed at being an online library. Robin likes to talk about the many bright and amazing voices out there - speaking really candidly about their own sexualities and challenges. She wanted Ready Sex Able to be a bigger picture, pulling those voices together into a single site, an online library, and resource. Robin aims to highlight voices that may not be heard as much.

About Robin Mandell...
Robin Mandell is a writer, healthy sexualities advocate, and yoga teacher.
She has been working in the sexuality field as a writer, speaker, and volunteer educator for the past 9 years, and calls on her experience studying Women's Studies, volunteering with crisis hotlines, and, more recently, training as a yoga teacher, to inform her work.
In 2015, Robin founded Ready, Sexy, Able, an online clearinghouse of sexuality and disability information and resources. She hopes that highlighting a variety of voices and experiences will encourage people to think about both sexuality and disability, separately and together, with more depth and creativity.
When she isn't writing or talking about sexuality and relationships, Robin can be found reading quirky novels and nonfiction, practicing yoga, exploring her new home in the Pacific Northwest, going to the symphony, browsing Etsy, and spending time with her partner.
Three of Robin's favorite things: dogs, tea, and gluten-free cookies.
