![]() ![]() I mean both my physical, earthly power, and the divine power inside of this body, this light brown, big, queer, glasses-wearing body. This practice changed the way i dressed, the way i walked, the way i flirted, the way i made love to others, the way i spoke-because i had seen, heard, and felt my power. ![]() I had to learn to desire myself, my body, my skin, my rhythms, my pleasure…. But I realized that if i wanted to truly be radical in the world, truly see white and skinny as one way people are born as opposed to the physical supreme, which pours over into every other aspect of life, i had to decolonize my desire. …I have traveled to other places where i have been celebrated immediately for my size and shape, my color. In my early twenties, i learned about pleasure activism. This was sometimes shameful, sometimes wonderful, and deeply private from fairly early on, as I received messages from family and neighbors that it wasn’t “right.” It has only been as an adult, as i have witnessed every single child I have ever met come into pleasureful awareness of their bodies, that I have understood that it was a natural part of growing into my body. Since I was a kid, I have had a penchant and passion for my touch on my body. ![]()
