        • 149: BIPOC Sexuality, Tenderness, + the Impact of being Chronically Under Touched with Aaron Johnson

          Today we dive into topics that are sensitive + complex in nature- discussing the black male brute archetype, how it came about + perpetuates across history and how it impacts sexual expression, tenderness, + platonic touch for men.

          THIS episode depicts the impact  to us + the culture at large when we don’t take the time to understand nuance. 

          Let’s change the cultural narrative by inspiring conversation. If you resonate with this episode be sure to share the podcast or leave me a review. 


          In this episode, you’ll hear:

          • The contextual factors that influence the processing of trauma, including aspects like race, gender, location, and ability

          • The pervasive influence of systemic racism, gender expectations, and societal biases that hinder safe expression and emotional completeness

          • Aaron's personal journey, navigating the layers of his sexual story as a Black male in the United States

          • The exploration of our familial legacies, uncovering the unconscious narratives we inherit and continue to carry

          • The damaging impact of the "black brute" narrative on our sexuality and our experience of touch

          • How systemic oppression has limited access to touch for BIPOC individuals

          • The value of community as a resource to reconnect with our authentic selves

          • The absence of tenderness and platonic touch within the Black community

          • Common narratives that emerge in Aaron's work and the influence of homophobia

          • Tracing trauma through various mediums, including pornography and music, and the importance of vulnerability and embracing our full humanity in our erotic experiences

          • The construction of traditional masculinity and the factors that threaten this identity

          • Embodied consent practices in the context of tender touch, exploring what is often missed and nuanced

          • The supportive role of the kink community for those who have been chronically untouched


          • THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTS

            AARON JOHNSON is a facilitator, public speaker, and touch specialist who practices closeness as a way to break down barriers between people. As co-founder of both Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action, Aaron takes the time to hold the stories of black people around homophobia, transphobia, internalized racism, and those that are Chronically UnderTouched. Because the purchasing, selling, lynching, and commoditization of the sexual energy of black bodies is a part of historical and present American culture, the long term impact of those trauma stories should be acknowledged and held as a map for our collective healing.

                          “Trauma is not the monster in the room. Trauma is the catalyst to growth and inner transformation.” – Dr. Melissa Barker


                          Dr. Melissa Barker, EdD is an entrepreneur, activist, and emerging voice in the growing psychedelics movement. Dr. Barker is the founder of The Phoenix Project, a community-led mental health tech platform created by survivors for survivors.

                          Dr. Barker holds a doctorate in Transformative Leadership. Her doctoral dissertation (Leading Through the Dark: Hope and Healing after Personal and Collective Trauma) focuses on how trauma survivors are finding sustainable healing, especially in the shadow of the pandemic. 

                          From 2018 to 2019, she served on the Board of Directors for STAND! For Families Free of Violence, a Bay-area nonprofit supporting survivors of domestic abuse.

                          In 2014, Dr. Barker filed a Title IX Civil Rights case against UC Berkeley for mishandling sexual violence cases on the college campus. In total, 31 brave survivors came forward, and four years later, the Office of Civil Rights found UC Berkeley had violated Title IX.

                          Dr. Barker’s personal experience of sexual violence and her resulting PTSD diagnosis led her to explore such modalities as somatic therapy, IFS, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy. She eventually discovered the incredible therapeutic power of psychedelics and began implementing them to integrate her trauma.

                          Her experiences with ketamine, MDMA/MDA, psilocybin, and LSD (alongside her work helping other survivors) spurred her into a deeper understanding of what healing from sexual trauma, abuse and violence means for women, particularly in today’s current climate.

                          She is now in the process of developing a new iteration of The Phoenix Project that utilizes revolutionary tech to support psychedelic integration for trauma survivors and to connect them with the community and resources they need.

                          Dr. Barker has been featured in HuffPost, Forbes, Nasdaq, and as one of Thrive Global’s “Social Impact and Nonprofit Leaders to Watch”. She’s been interviewed on Third Wave and Only One in the Room podcasts. She was a featured Mentor on the psychedelics track at SXSW in 2023.
