Hello!

Hi there — I’m Lena, the brains behind Eros Insight. Here, I blend my passion for human sexuality with my commitment to social justice.
I have a deep passion for cultivating transformative educational spaces that inspire meaningful community, intellectual risk-taking, and radical dreaming.

My work primarily focuses on members of the queer and disabled communities, particularly those at the intersection of those identities.
I hold a Master of Social Work degree with a concentration in Sexual Health & Education from the Brown School at Washington University in St. Louis.
Currently available for projects.

why eros?
“Eros” is a Greek word and concept which embodies notions of love, sensuality, and pleasure. It is the origin of the word “erotic”.
In her essay "Uses of the Erotic," Audre Lorde defines eroticism as more than physical desire; it encompasses a profound feeling of aliveness, satisfaction, enjoyment, and connection with oneself and others.
Erotic knowledge — realizing our capacity for aliveness and what brings it forth — is a source of power.
Eros Insight is here to help people harness that power and channel it into their lives and work.
