Summary

** This episode has a little language!! **

Hey, hey! I'm in conversation with Dr. Candice Nicole Hargons, an award-winning associate professor of counseling psychology at the University of Kentucky and sexual wellness advocate. Dr. Candice is also the host of F*ck the System: A Sexual Liberation Podcast and How to Love a Human, a liberation podcast that asks people with multiple marginalized identities what the world would be like if it loved them.

We are talking about the fight she found herself in with her womb as a Black woman and everything that went with that including heavy periods, the unexpected impact on her self life and even how she had to challenge the notion of "Black Excellence" to save her life.
