Pursuing UnashamednessJuly 2024 In All The Black Girls Are Activists, I write: “A major part of this freedom journey is to deconstruct, question, and contextualize this irrational fear of bringing shame to my family by experiencing sexual pleasure or acknowledging my body as something worthy of pleasure.” Actions associated with sin often bring shame to the individual and shame to that individual's family. These sinful actions are often associated with sexual activity and personal pleasure. Historically, in America, Black women have been hyper-sexualized. However, I am suggesting that, despite this hyper-sexualized stereotype, the Black churched woman has abstained from sexual pleasure because the shame and guilt for experiencing great sex out of wedlock is in direct conflict with Black Christian family values.
I choose to pursue unashamedness to create a space for deeper conversations around Black women pursuing sexual gratification outside of marriage and to speak the truth about my liberating journey to be unashamed in my pursuit of pleasure. I'm interested to know tips you may have that have helped you in your journey to remove the cloak of shame. Please respond to this email directly or engage with me on Instagram. I am tempted to sign out with the words "get naked," but I'll opt for: In grace and gratitude, EbonyJanice |
