becoming #radicallysexy

At the G-spot of queer pleasure activism, fashion theory, Afro-diasporic histories, & ancestral spiritual practices lies the #RadicallySexy philosophy.

Classified as the resistance of oppression through embodied expression, #RadicallySexy demands the integration of sustainable sensual systems within ourselves first, then the transformation of this intimate understanding of the mind, body, and spirit into tailor made activism.

“I first dreamt up the theory in order to blossom within my own body: dressing, praying, & playing in order to evolve my self-concept and personal style. But through witnessing the world around me and investigating the spirit of arousal, I now understand #RadicallySexy as a framework for withstanding war [and erasure]. Arousal champions connection, upholds autonomy. Arousal is a transformative force that comes through like lightning. Purposeful. Electric. Explosive. Ripe for alchemy… Let your humanity arouse you and move you towards purposeful action.”

— excerpt from Gigi Penn’s “Arousal Is Needed: The Source of #RadicallySexy”

YOU MUST LET AROUSAL GUIDE YOUR ...

What feels physically pleasing to wear?  How can I use my clothing to convey my emotions today? Do I feel safe enough in my own skin to celebrate my identity through my fashion choices? What do I learn about myself when I defy trends andtailor my style around personal pleasure and expression?

01
APPROACH TO DRESS

02
WELLNESS RITUALS

How often do I move my body in a way that feels good? How can I explore low impact full body foreplay into my everyday routines outside of sexual interactions? What can I add or subtract from my daily routines that would allow me to savor enjoyable sensations more? If my body were a temple, what offerings would I leave myself as a deity? What does honoring a sacred space look and feel like?

03
PERSONAL POLITICS

How is my relationship to sensual experiences either inhibited or elevated by my race, gender, sexuality, weight, or income? Which of these things is a result of forced marginalization by The POWERS THAT BE? What is weaponized against me in this search for a pleasurable life? What tools do I possess in response?

04
COMMUNAL PURPOSE

How can I utilize these discoveries to change the current conditions of my life and those of the people I care about?
What methods have I developed that I would recommend to the next person? If arousal can inspire me to show up differently, what and who else can it inspire?

So, are you ready to let arousal have its way with you?

The goal of this post-birthday shoot, curated by my lovely Creative Director Gigi Da BAP was to bring out that side of myself - the femininity and softness that I continuously lock away in my day-to-day […]  thank you to  Gigi for making me feel extremely comfortable in the space, and putting so much work into making it an enjoyable experience.
