I am doing a project on Black Womens Sexuality and here is the begining of my lit review.
I am focused on work written in the last 20 years, but historical works that changed the game must be used as well.
My goal is to use this information to work on the Doc that I mention that I am working on in my Bio. Luls.
I really need academic articles and films and fiction.
Please include recommendations in the comments and Thank you for helping me. *Cough* Moya & Jess.
