9 Black-owned sexual wellness products you should try!
It’s not every day that Black people have the opportunity to just be, live freely and enjoy pleasurable experiences without scrutiny, judgment or violence.
We’re constantly told to work and be productive when our bodies need rest. We’re met with violence when we are walking in our neighborhoods, barbecuing or spending time with our children.
