Orenstein has been featured on many programs including Nightline, CBS This Morning, The Today Show, NPR’s Fresh Air and Morning Edition, and her TED Talk, “What Young Women Believe About Their Own Sexual Pleasure,” has been viewed over 4.5 million times.

Orenstein will be joined on stage for a conversation about her work by Oronde Cruger, program manager for Speak About It, a Portland-based nonprofit that partners with high schools and colleges across the country to empower students to prevent sexual violence, advocate for and practice healthy relationship habits, and create positive change within their communities. Orenstein will also entertain questions from the audience and sign copies of her new book, which PRINT: A Bookstore will have for sale.
