Imbolc Special 2020! Decolonizing Love with Chelsea A. Hamlet

When this theme of Decolonizing Love occurred to me for this episode, the first person I thought of was writer, Erotic Blueprint coach and self-described baby Orisha devotee Chelsea A. Hamlet, on whose blog I’d been reading such titles as “This is how I wish my partners responded when I told them they gave me an STI” and “What About Your Friends with Herpes?” elsewhere her essays about kink like “‘I Had Extra-Freaky, Mind-Blowing Sex With A BDSM Dom And Hit Up A Kink Party’. That she’s “reading about the connection between pleasure, sexuality, feminism, and women of the African Diaspora along with redefining what self-pleasure means to her beyond traditional masturbation practices.”… This is just the kind of frankness and perspective we need to decolonize love, and decolonize our thinking. We started the conversation with Chelsea’s thoughts on the word Witch. The Missing Witches coven is trans-inclusive, anti-racist, feminist, pro-science, anti-ableist, and full of AWE and LOVE. If that sounds like your people, come find out more.  https://www.missingwitches.com/join-the-coven/
