Award winning musician Karen Kaz Lucas is an established leader in the Kenyan arts and culture ecosystem. Having begun her career in 1997 as a rapper/singer, she has gone on to run creative ventures and projects cutting across the performing arts, media production, digital marketing and innovative events that shape the industrial standard. Kaz has had a lifelong passion for changing the way sex education is taught to young people. Driven by this passion and enabled by her media experience, she started The Spread Podcast. The Spread is a sex positive podcast that only exists because there is no comprehensive sex education in Kenya. Information about sex is rooted in the negative consequences: HIV and AIDS and unwanted pregnancies. But while these are some real consequences, there’s need to highlight all the positive things that can come out of healthy, informed and consensual sexual practices. The Spread provides a platform advocating for informal and comprehensive sexuality education in our academic institutions.

I have had a lifelong passion for changing the way sex education is taught to young people so, driven by this passion and enabled by my media experience, I started The Spread Podcast, a sex positive podcast that creates a safe space for people to understand their sexuality and learn to live confidently in awareness of their sexual identity. For the last 2 years, I have been focused on the unlearning of our parents’ sex ed. The things we are constantly told not to do because of social perception and upholding the family name. A lot of the work we are diving into has meant researching what myths are the most common practice and debunking them.

Decolonizing sexualities by highlighting the positive aspects of healthy and consensual sexual relationships.
