On Saturday, I had the pleasure of participating in my first speaking event of 2023.
I was invited to partner with Planned Parenthood and speak on a panel for their Shop Chats Weekend of Action brunch event. And let me tell you, I couldn’t have felt more at home.
The energy in the room filled with beautiful Black women from all walks of life was palpable. We discussed the importance of prioritizing sexual wellness in our communities and erasing its stigma. We touched on abortion rights and how having those stripped recently has affected so many underserved communities, especially Black women.
We also spoke on the importance of pleasure as a form of self-care and reclaiming our right to embrace our sexuality.
I shared A LOT–and opened up about my personal story for the first time. And it felt good. We are all different, but alike in so many ways. So, I believe that sharing is the gateway to allowing others to heal as well.
