** This episode has a little language!! ** Hey, hey!  I'm in conversation with Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons, an award-winning associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Kentucky and sexual wellness advocate.  Dr. Candice is also the host of F*ck the System: A Sexual Liberation Podcast and How to Love a Human, a liberation podcast that asks people with multiple marginalized identities what the world would be like if it loved them.
