Long Story Short, It’s Because of Slavery
This week the ladies are talking sex! Skye & Amanda discuss their recent read, Stolen Women: Reclaiming Our Sexuality, Taking Back Our Lives by Dr. Gail Elizabeth Wyatt and give their thoughts around what ended up being an insightful history lesson on the myths and stereotypes that surround the sexuality of Black women, dating back to pre-slavery.
The two open up about their early years - when and how they learned about sex, whether or not sex was discussed in their households or at school and how much of their first sexual experiences lived up to any expectations they might’ve had based on media and peers. The ladies reflect on whether or not their views on body image as teens still impact how they see themselves now. Amanda talks about the adjustments she’s had to make to accept body changes and Skye discusses the assumptions that were made about her because of how her body developed and how that impacts her now.
Listen in to what the ladies are saying is just an introduction to a soon to be continued topic around sexual liberation and coming into their sexuality presently.
