I really enjoyed listening to this,pleasure activism is really a good book,I MEAN REALLY GOOD, it's my Bible and I'm glad I came across it at 20. Really loved watching my black queens talking about pleasure,I love yall.😘❤
one thing that stands out in this convo with adrienne maree brown is she is not defensive or overly-apologetic or hugely ashamed of doing something like putting out an audio book on Audible and then finding out it's not accessible to everyone. Just like "oh next time hopefully we find a way that's more accessible!" sometimes the internet+white supremacy has us in this space where if we are not perfectly woke on the first try you get ripped apart and are not an activist and don't know anything and shouldn't speak about anything, but that just paralyzes everyone from doing anything. Because adrienne doesn't expect herself to be perfect she can hear critique that what she's done wasn't perfect for everyone else and make a note to make any legit adjustments, versus being attacked/feeling attacked.
I put this on for background and then couldn't focus because the conversation was too good! Let me hit replay and catch these gems more attentively.
Thanks for introducing her to me. I’ve been binging her vids and just got the book on audible.
I'm so grateful for this conversation.
