To be a parent or not to be… did we even know we had the choice?! On this episode, we discuss how our viewpoint on having children has evolved, the pressure of bearing children especially as black African women, who has the right to make a call on having children and everything else between.

We had the pleasure of recording this season at Bittersweet Studios (@bittersweet.studios_)

Beyond the myths and mysteries of Sex and why it’s so taboo, we felt it important to delve into Sex for People of Colour. Why is it so hard for us to talk about? How do we handle being hypersexualised at a young age and losing our innocence? What is our hope for People of Colour when it comes to sex and healing?

We were joined by the immensely profound Nadine Atia of Aateeyah Sexology who spoke on the trauma that First Nations and People of Colour carry and how it manifests into our sexuality and sex life.

Keep up with Nadine and all she’s up to:

Are black people and people of colour traumatised? What is the source of this trauma? How does trauma manifest itself in our lives? What are the triggers? And how do we cope with trauma in its many forms? We’re delving deeper into trauma and how it shows up in our lives - and what some of those triggers are.
