Reviews
‘Professionals within the field of sexuality, whether they identify as sexologists, educators, academics, clinicians, etc., often realize early in their careers that there is space for contract work. Despite possessing the requisite education and theoretical background, many of these individuals lack the business acumen required for success in this arena. Even their colleagues, who may be facing similar challenges with their own businesses, cannot always provide guidance. As a result, these professionals are often left wondering how they can make a living as sole practitioners in the sexuality field. It can feel like they are working in isolation, with little support or understanding from those around them. This is where the book at hand comes in. By bringing together a diverse group of successful sexuality business owners, the author has created a space for struggling or questioning business owners to receive much-needed leadership and support. Through this collaboration, the book provides hope and strategies for success, while also lending credibility to the field of sexuality. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to build a successful career in this complex and challenging industry. Thank you, Dr. Wadley, for bringing these individuals together to support and advance the sexuality business.’ Monique Howard, EdD, MPH, Public/Sexual Health Consultant, Nonprofit Strategist ‘Dr. Wadley and his colleagues create space for sexual and mental practitioners to discuss the business components of our profession. Undoubtedly, this is a wonderful contribution to field.’ Kamilah Marie Woodson, PhD, Professor of Counseling Psychology and Department Chair, Human Development and Psychoeducational Studies, Howard University ‘We finally started the conversation about the integration of sexuality and relational health studies and business. I am so proud of my colleagues for initiating a formal conversation for us to learn and grow from.’ Carmelita Yvette Whitfield, Ph.D, Associate Director of Community Health, Penn State University
