Session 168: Women, Agency, & Pleasure

<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 version of ourselves.</p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">By now you've likely seen and heard Cardi B & Meg the Stallion's newest release, WAP. Of course there's lots of commentary so we had to chat about it on the podcast so Dr. Lexx Brown-James is back to join the conversation.</span> <span class="s1">Dr. Lexx and I chatted about the stereotypes that are often invoked in commentary about Black women’s sexuality, the importance of agency in sexual liberation, how respectability politics are used to shame Black women, and how we can unpack our own shame around sexuality to encourage healthier attitudes towards sexuality for our children.</span></p> <p><strong>Resources Mentioned</strong></p> <p>Visit our <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls" target="_blank" rel= "noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amazon.com/shop/therapy4bgirls&source=gmail&ust=1593664880963000&usg=AFQjCNHBW1o23ExOe-pgaTqnghXjBTf6pg">Amazon Store</a> for all the books mentioned on the podcast!</p> <p><strong>Where to Find Dr. Lexx</strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.lexxsexdoc.com/">https://www.lexxsexdoc.com/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lexxsexdoc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@lexxsexdoc</a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href= "https://www.twitter.com/lexxsexdoc">@lexxsexdoc</a></p> <p>Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/lexxsexdoc">@lexxsexdoc</a></p> <p>Grab a copy of Dr. Lexx's <a href="https://amzn.to/3iXCt0i" target="_blank" rel="noopener">children's book</a>.</p> <p><span style= "font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> Check out Dr. Lexx's <a href="https://www.lexxsexdoc.com/events-1" target="_blank"
