Look, Nashieqa knows of what she speaks. Sex is power, sex is energy, sex is the purest medium for creativity. Black women as a whole in the past 400 years have been played, had and subsequently have rolled over on our backs and wimped out. It’s time to get in the driver’s seat (how’s that for a visual!) and take the ship where we want it to go.
As an author, I have made it my mission to explore themes of women, black women in particular assuming power. We can’t demonstrate power the way men do, overtly and aggressively as that is not our domain. We have dominion over the emotional and sensual but we must learn to administer it within our own means. Not only are our men counting on us to do so, so are other women. Younger women are watching older women, girls are learning from their mothers, and men will treat their mates as they regard their mothers. We have to protect our bodies as least as well as we do our checking accounts, and be assured that if we behave as a woman deserving of respect and compassion a man able to provide this will materialize.
