S3 E2: EXPLICIT and Intimate ft. Penda N'diaye

Hey Afrolit Fam, this week we started a new series topic on the MISCONCEPTIONS AND TABOOS WITHIN AFRICAN CULTURE. When you think about Taboos within our culture, what the first thing that comes to mind?  Yup, we went there! We talked about Sex, Intimacy and everything in between with our FIRST GUEST of Season 3 @Pendajai ! Penda is a Senegalese-American NYU Tisch School of the Arts graduate, and former professional dancer currently expressing herself through words and storytelling. After her mom gave her her first vibrator for Christmas, she created the brand Pro Hoe®️ to eradicate stigmas surrounding sexual freedom and identity in Black communities. She is hyper-focused on using sex and taboo as a means of political change and resistance! We discussed: - How she got her start from dancer to writer, a fledged artist@ - Being hyper sexualized as dark-skinned women and colorism getting its roots from slavery - If sexual education is sexist and gendered, especially for black girls - When to give our children "the talk" - When we discovered intimacy for ourselves - How to create comfortable spaces  We would love to hear YOUR VOICE!
