Session 262: Exploring Asexuality & Aromanticism

<p>The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.</p> <p>In honor and celebration of Pride Month, today we&rsquo;re focusing on the experiences of those in the LGBTQIA community that identify as asexual or aromantic. This week I&rsquo;m joined by Yasmin Benoit, the award-winning aromantic-asexual activist and founder of the #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike movement. Our conversation explores what asexuality is and how it differs from aromanticism, some common misconceptions about the asexuality community, and the intersection of being both a Black woman and an ace-aro woman.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p>Visit our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls">Amazon Store</a>&nbsp;for all the books mentioned on the podcast.</p> <p>Get updates about&nbsp;<a href="https://sisterhoodheals.com/">Sisterhood Heals</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Where to Find Yasmin</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.yasminbenoit.co.uk/">Website</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/theyasminbenoit/">Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/theyasminbenoit">Twitter</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Stay Connected</strong></p> <p>Is there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?
