Hi!, I'm Ana Maria Ramos (she/her/ella). Bilingual Sexuality Educator & Founder of Familia Sex Talks.
And yes—I talk to families about the stuff that can feel awkward.
I created Familia Sex Talks because young people deserve accurate information about growing up—and caregivers deserve support talking with them about it.
For many of us, conversations about bodies, puberty, sexuality, relationships, and consent weren't exactly normal dinner-table conversations growing up.
Maybe nobody talked about it. Maybe the message was simply, "Don't." Maybe there was embarrassment, fear, silence, or shame. And then we became the adults.
Suddenly, we're expected to know exactly what to say when a child asks:
"Why is my body changing?"
"What does that word mean?"
"My friend showed me something..."
"Is it normal?"
And that's a lot to handle.
I believe young people deserve accurate, age-appropriate information about growing up—and caregivers deserve support having these conversations with them.

Familia Sex Talks was created to help families do something different.
Growing Together, One Conversation at a Time.
Familia Sex Talks offers bilingual, interactive workshops for tweens and caregivers that create space for learning, connection, and honest conversation.
Our family-centered workshops help tweens and the adults who care for them build confidence, trust, and practical communication skills while navigating puberty, consent, media, relationships, sexuality, and growing up.
Workshops are available in English or Spanish and combine age-appropriate, inclusive, evidence-informed education with activities and conversations families experience together.
Because our goal isn't simply to give young people information.
It's to help families become more comfortable talking to one another.
To empower tweens and their caregivers with the knowledge, confidence, and communication skills to navigate puberty, consent, media, relationships, and growing up together.
Through inclusive, evidence-informed, and culturally responsive education, Familia Sex Talks creates spaces where families can learn together, ask questions without shame, and build lasting trust.
A world where every young person has a trusted adult they can turn to with questions about their body, relationhips, sexuality, and growing up.
And where families feel confident enough to say:
"You can talk to me."
Age-appropriate
Young people deserve honest information they can understand at their stage of development.
Family-centered
Tweens and caregivers learn together, building skills they can continue using at home.
Bilingual & Culturally Responsive
Language, culture, family experiences, and values shape how we talk about growing up. Workshops are available in English and Spanish, with space for the different experiences families bring into the room.
Inclusive
Bodies, identities, orientations, relationships, and families are diverse. Our learning spaces reflect and respect that diversity.
Evidence-informed
Workshops are grounded in medically accurate information, sexual-health education, youth development, healthy-relationship education, and media literacy.
Shame-free. Sin Vergüenza.
Questions are welcome. Curiosity is normal. Nobody is expected to know everything.
Families leave our workshops knowing they can continue the conversations and stay curious together.

A Little Awkward? Está Bien.
You don't have to know every answer. You don't need the perfect words. And you definitely don't need to figure it all out alone. Let's make these conversations a little easier—together.
