This episode is for women who are ready to take control of their sexual health and pleasure. Join my guests, Goddess Honey B and Sha' Cannon and I as we delve into the often taboo topic of women's sexual wellness, from understanding our own bodies to exploring new ways to enhance our sexual experiences.

She fulfills that mission by sharing content and trainings that bring clarity and focus for small business transformational growth.

Goddess Honey B is a pro and lifestyle FemDomme and adult sex & kink educator. A self-described Black feminist freak, her kink practice is rooted in her politics and is explicitly in service of the freedom of Black people. In practice this means that while the identities of those who worship her are varied, she prioritizes being a place where Black folks, especially for Black women, trans and gender queer folks, can reimagine relationships to their own bodies, to certain implements (whips, floggers, ropes), and to pleasure more broadly. While her talents span a wide range of kink practices her specialties are impact play, knife play, wax, and generally making people cum whilst at the intersection of fear, arousal, anticipation and liberation.

She is a member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), has presented workshops across the country, and has been published in Yes! Magazine.
