Cutting Edge Pleasure Research for Queer...

Black folks are often left out of research studies. Queer people are often left out of research studies. Women are often left out of research studies. So if you're a Black queer woman, there's hardly any research about your specific needs, struggles, and pleasure -- and that's where our guest, Dr. Shemeka Thorpe, comes in! We're kicking off our second Pleasure season by diving into #HotGirlScience, intersectionality, and Dr. Thorpe's incredible research all about Black Queer women.
