While many of us are familiar with discussing consent in the context of sexuality, consent shows up in so many other areas of our lives.

Consent may seem like a simple yes or no, but there are layers to what makes up true consent, and access to it can be a privilege. 

Shannon Collins interviews Erica about how consent shows up in everything from health to hair to raising kids, even in our entertainment.

In this discussion:

How Erica defines consent in this moment How Erica is reprogramming consent in her life and in the lives of her kids through modeling imperfection and accountability When consent is an illusion or a privilege How consent shows up in DEI work, entertainment, and in the salon

Members like Shannon Collins make The Pause on the Play® Community what it is.

Community members have on-demand access to the replay of Shannon and Stacie Lampkin’s workshop, “Sharing about kids online: Do you have their consent?” 

In this workshop, Stacie and Shannon cover the basics of consent and boundaries when posting about kids online, and encourage participants to re-examine their approach to how they share about children in online spaces.

This is just one of the evergreen resources available to community members, along with our conversations, screenings, Q&As, co-working hours, and more.
