Sex Series : Shanice Nicole - Defying the Husband Stitch and other ways to fight sexual oppression

You know when you've just sat down to have a conversation with someone and very shortly into the conversation you realize you're in the presence of someone so knowledgeable and really cool and you wonder where you put the cocktails cause you know the conversation is going to be mind-blowing? Well, as soon as Shanice Nicole came in, I had a feeling we were going to go places. Shanice is a black feminist educator, facilitator & writer and much of her work focusses on anti-oppression and anti-racism. In this conversation we specifically talk about how to look at systemic oppression through the lense of sex. And we talk about the vagina y'all. We talk about the "Husband Stitch" -and yeah, it's as bad as it sounds- and so many other ways in which the typical conversation around sex is one-dimensional. She shares with me her ideas on how to make the information on sexual health more inclusive...I mean who do we talk about when we talk about women? Because in the archaic yet ever present sexual education we receive from a not so young age, so many people are left out. Having a conversation with Shanice is like sitting down with your really really really smart friend who looks at everything from a different perspective anchored in compassion and inclusivity and challenges the status quo and who also has great nails and is a cool spoken word artist. At the end we are treated with a piece of hers which encompasses so perfectly what we've explored together. Shanice Nicole is an important voice in this city and it's our honour and privilege to hear her speak.
