April and Danielle are joined by Leah Robinson, the Assistant Director of The Martin Luther King Jr. Scholars Program at NYU, which is an all-university honors program that engages and empowers a cohort of undergraduate students around creating social change..
In this episode, Leah talks about the tension in her life between the fear-based lens of sex and relationships that she grew up with and the more sex-positive, accepting mindset that she chose to adopt. We talk about the norms around shaving body hair and the negative implications of complimenting people’s bodies. Additionally, she acknowledges the importance of finding her community and the deep friendships that have impacted her journey.
This episode may be activating for some. Be sure to listen to your body and take care of yourself!
