THE SEX EDUCATOR: How Mehdi Educated 10,000s on Sexual Health in Tunisia (TuniSex)

Personable

Mehdi Chouikha is the first Tunisian undergraduate student and a Karsh Scholar at Duke University. With an online following of over 45,000, Mehdi uses his platform, TuniSex, to educate tens of thousands on sexual health in his birthplace, Tunisia. He studied at the prestigious African Leadership Academy in South Africa and participated in the Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Program in California.
Mehdi’s life philosophy emphasizes critical thinking and challenging societal norms. "I’m always sceptical of what I’m told, of society, of traditional beliefs. Instead, I rely on critical thinking, life experiences, and education to make sense of the world. I keep pushing the limits of what I’m told is possible, and so far this has taken me from a modest household in Tunisia to travelling the world and studying at the best institutions."
Mehdi often reflects on his thoughts and then tests them in the real world, documenting his experiences. For example, he once wore patches on his eyes to simulate blindness for 24 hours, walked 14 hours straight to reach intriguing, remote places on the map, tested the limits of his physical endurance, and hitchhiked to live with random people for new perspectives. His countless stories, which seemed sensible in the moment, now appear incredibly adventurous in hindsight.
