Sexual Pleasure is a basic human right. When we take agency of our own sexuality, bodies and sexual pleasure, we begin to understand what sexual liberation could feel like. In a country where that concept is not meant to be accessible to women – especially women of color – this is one of most powerful things we can do.
Sexual exploration starts before we’re even born and continues throughout our entire lives. To experience a life full of positive sexual experiences, access to comprehensive and medically accurate sex education is essential.
There’s no denying the number of conflicting media messages about sex and sexuality we are exposed to in our lifetime. Whether positive or negative, these messages have lasting effects on sexual development. We intentionally create spaces for conversations about navigating and challenging these messages.
To reach a state of sex positivity, we must confront the sex negative places and experiences of our lives. For some, this can bring up a range of emotions – fear, shame, guilt and trauma - we strive to provide an atmosphere where vulnerable and honest conversation can take place.
We focus on the holistic view of sexuality and address its connection to our sense of power and agency over our bodies. We believe that reclaiming power and agency within our sexuality will only lead to the same behaviors taking place in other areas of our lives.
The most radical thing we can do as people with Black bodies is to consistently reclaim and show up for our bodies and sexuality. Nothing upsets the (perceived) balance of white supremacy more than operating in our defiance to its control.
