Summary
*Note: This episode was done during the era when this podcast used to be called The Sexually Liberated Woman.
Ev'Yan chats with Dr. Zelaika Clarke about Oshun, the Yoruba deity of sensuality and sexuality. They talk about who Oshun is, what she represents, and the ways we can use her as inspiration for sex positivity and stepping into our erotic power.
Also in this episode: Radical menstruation, self-romancing, decolonizing black femme sexuality, Beyoncé, self-love as a way of fighting internalized oppression, a slew of book recommendations, and a self-love ritual you can do to invoke Oshun.
