“All walls gon’ fall, free them all, free them all.”

On this week’s episode we discuss black liberation and collective wellness through the power of sex magick with the incredible, Halo the Gxdbody (they/them). Halo opens up about their own journey of exploration, and how the combination of black sex magick and BDSM practices has brought them closer to their divine energy. They believe that through intentional sex magick, marginalized communities have the power to manifest social justice and collective liberation.
