S2E2 Lovers and Mothers and HABs, Oh My! ft Dr. Lexx Brown-James

Raw Bar with Goddess Cecilia

Do you know that white supremacy is also deeply ingrained in our intimate sexual relationships?

We often take for granted that our relationships are based on equality and mutual respect. The truth is that power imbalances still exist.

These include white supremacy, which has gained roots in our society and is still present in our intimate relationships. It manifests itself in the form of objectification, partner expectations, and difficulty in expressing our feelings.

On today’s episode of the Podcast Raw Bar, I'm joined by Dr. Lexx Brown-James, founder of The Institute for Sexuality and Intimacy, to help us dive deeper into how white supremacy is affecting our relationships and identities, both in society and in the bedrooms.
