Join me for this special conversation with my friend Marie Joung.  Marie and I crossed paths about two years ago as students at SMU who were also Human Rights fellows. My research focused on generational wealth in the black community and Marie’s project focused on making period products accessible across campus and beyond. We're chatting about her many passions, her major transitions as a young woman, and how she became an advocate for menstrual equity.

In honor of Black History Month and Valentine's Day, we decided to spend some time discussing our journeys to sexual freedom and even some black brands you can support. All of the filters are off on this episode (so beware)! We are exploring our bodies and owning the imperfections that have made our experiences so special. Ladies and gents, TAP IN!

She is opening up about the highs and lows of her journey, and it is one every woman can all relate to.
