On the right is a slide Sarah is referring to which says: "I believe the most common question I get when I am asked about being Ace is generally something like oh so you are like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory?"

Warsaw memories! It was a pleasure raising awareness of asexuality in Poland a few months back. I love being able to visit places where these conversations happen less often. I have some exciting trips planned for 2025, so look out for those announcements!

"Aces deserve equality. Aces deserve protection. Aces deserve recognition. Aces deserve support. Aces deserve to be heard."
