WHAT EXACTLY IS THE BLACK EROTIC REVOLUTION?

​

Audre Lorde, a black feminist lesbian poet, described the erotic as the most responsible source of women's and femmes' power. Lorde located that power in our acknowledgement of desire. She issued a call to all women and femmes, regardless of sexual identity, and erased erotic differences between straight, bisexual, and lesbian desire in order to promote such desire as a creative force for revolutionary change.

​

WHY DO WE NEED A BLACK EROTIC REVOLUTION?

​

Black women and femmes living healthy, unabashedly provocative, and luxuriously erotic lifestyles is a form of power and resistance against

misogynoiristic sexual oppression! 

​

WHEN/WHERE/HOW OF THE BLACK EROTIC REVOLUTION?

​
