4.25

-"We achieve freedom when we let go of the weight of societal expectations, and when we find our people – those who love us, care for us, and hold us up when we start slipping.”
-“Many women lose all the privileges of a free woman when they get married and what they gain is nothing compared to what they lose.”
-"Sensuality and spirituality are two sides of the same coin and I wanted to be with a partner that I could learn the faith with, from a place of curiosity, and not oppression."
-"The fact that I'm still attracted to men is proof sexuality is not a choice."

A very important book to read that shines a light in dark places. It was a collection of essays that honestly were hard to read at times due to the content. It was also healing to hear African women share their personal stories related to sex and how they dealt with trauma in their lives and overcame it or were still on their healing journey. This was thought provoking and insightful.

I loved it. I love the different stories, I like how none of the stories have a final ending, that these women's sex/romance/family lives are still ongoing. I like that the stories kinda show women from different economic backgrounds.
