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.
