Courtney Brame
Founder
I’m Courtney Brame—yoga teacher, podcast host, founder of SPFPP, and co-author of Fundamental Concepts and Critical Developments in Sex Education. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2013. At the time, I had no roadmap for what came next—especially as a Black man struggling with my identity, sexual shame, and the isolation that followed my diagnosis. What I found online was community—and pain. I saw people talking openly about suicide ideation upon being diagnosed, and in 2017, I decided to turn my energy toward helping those people. What began as a podcast to share our stories evolved into a broader movement rooted in a practice of self-presence.
“Life is about what happens through you, not to you.”
Together, we can help you reconnect with yourself, free of the fear that often accompanies a herpes diagnosis. Whether through donation-based support calls, trauma-informed yoga therapy sessions, or real conversations on the podcast, you can shed the shame of stigma and live a life filled with love and purpose. While we may not be able to eliminate herpes, we can eliminate the limitations people think exist when you live with it.
