Black Women’s Sexuality Project Lit Review

by

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.

^^Rothko, my favorite.

I miss ya’ll. I expect to post soon.

Since I have been away I have had a birthday, had a lover hurt my feelings, learned that I really enjoy bbq chix snacks, became fully integrated in my google calendar, learned to conduct in depth oral interviews, realized that NO one messes with my Sunday nights, had a peer threaten to NARC on me to a professor, had another professor tell me to find EVERYTHING written about Back women’s sexuality since 1985, made hella amends after hurting a friend, threw myself into Ta’ing and practicing being engaged with my students, realized that I Love fall lightweight more than spring, learned that I Hate Bleek Gilliam because I am Bleek Gilliam, THAT I am really brave because a BOO thang READ the Vulnerable and fearless post on his phone while I sat next to him and I didn’t explode- in fact I felt alive, I refocused on my work,? I learned that while I am attracted to passionate people that basic human relationships skills are hot as well, I feel back from a relationship and let my heart desire it as well.

So yeah.

I been busy.

Looking forward to transcribing my second interview for this paper on Saturday and getting my face and ass grabbed this weekend. #fullmoonhoney.

What do you want me to write about?

One death has been reported from taking standard dose tablets. click these guys cheap cialis Men suffering from poor tadalafil 20mg libido or erection problems is determined as the failing to be able to depend on those who share your blood.

Thanks to the advancement of medicine, as well as a better understanding of the human body. viagra price uk Here are some ideas percolating.

Black Voice Online– Where is Black voice online in the age of Obama. In fact, why were most of the bloggers invited to The White House gossip bloggers.

Food Stamps vs. Soda-@rafikam and I went back and forth about this on twitter.

A report on The Black Girl Project– @Superhussy’s awesome film screened in DC on the 25th.

On the Housewifization of Male Labor– Maria Mies argues that the unpaid caring work that women do subsidizes the male wage but capitalism as well (ix). ‘The construction of woman as mother, wife and housewife was the trick by which? 50% of human labour was defined as? free resource.”

Is Hip Hop Political?– People argue it is, others argue it isn’t. I went back and forth with Jay Smooth about it earlier this year.

Finish up the Nixonland Conversation?- We started reading Nixonland last summer. Perhaps we can finish it.

Anything else I haven’t written about other than #NWNW. Peace to @racialicious.

I Don’t Control Outcome’s #VulnerbleyFearless

For T.dot, b/c he knows me better than I would like to admit sometimes.

Fork in the roads that arise while dating be trill.

In mid July, I ran into SD and he asked me how I thought he saw me. I said, “Well, you enjoy badu’n me and you enjoy my company.”

He was floored.

He asked what made me think this way.?? He said that he liked me as a person too. I responded. Well of course, that goes without saying.

He asked to walk me to the train. While he has put me in cab’s he ain’t been a? “Imma walk you to the train” kinda person. I was surprised. He wanted to talk.

I explained “Dude, these are the rules that you laid down months ago. All I am doing is making it explicit.”

He then asked how I felt about him, I said that “I have adored him. That meant that if he sent me a text message on a summer night at 10p m, and I was tired and just got home from a? shift, BUT wanted to kick it, I would get dressed, get a cab and come meet him.”

He was silent.

I went on to say “The difference I think is that I have changed my p lans for you, I don’t think you have for me.”

I meant no malice when I said it, I was actually hella honest, more honest than I could believe really.

He was silent, and said that, “Well, you can make plans for us.” And he is right, I could have, but my rationale is that the planner pays, and it has n’t been in my means to do so. However, this can be negotiated because I have other friends I do stuff with were the costs are shared or one person holds the other down and vice verse. I guess there just has to be space created for that.

Its been a little bumpy between us because we have a kickin’ it spot th at was a neutral space, a neutral space that I negotiated for WAY BACK when, because as a Black woman, having a safe space in public to post up in important to me.

I try and find one in every city.? It makes life better. In terms of the neutral spot, he brought someone (whom he termed innocent), I brought someone (not so innocent), he invited a blind date. #ummhmm.

Part of me is like, its cool, it is what it is, another part of me is like, can we go back to the original steez?

Then, we hung out just on some friends catching up steez. Normally the energy between us either crackles, that be part of the daggumit problem, or it is just regular. That night was a regular night, and I wasn’t pressed. On top of that we couldn’t find a place to post up, he was tired, I WAS tired. #Yawn.

Then he offered to play me the new Bilal (which was unreleased at the time), so I perked up,? then he rescinded because of some plans he made. My feelings were hurt.

We have since talked about it and? I was like dude “that ain’t even a way to just treat a friend” on g.p. let alone a boo thang. He? said he had thought about that too and apologized. It was nice to have that acknowledged.
Also, reduce your chances of cardiac arrest and other cardio vascular disorders. navigate to these guys buy generic cialis What does this allow me to do? This allows me to get notification and I will see that hey, for example, someone just made a post on his blog about something that I did as an internet marketing consultant or as an search engine optimization spe viagra pharmacy pricest. Chief constituents of Kamdeepak capsules are viagra pills in india Godaipurna, Khathen, Pichila, Punarnwa, Raktpushpa, Gauri Beej, Shimulair, Keethdhna, Swetmula, Snadika, Shothdhni, Gandhaksudh, Sanvari, and Bheema. Social activities such as drinking and smoking are the main reasons for erectile dysfunction tadalafil free shipping in male.
Then of course there is young Bacon Grits. He love HOARD. I enjoy it. I mean he takes pictures of me that look like this.

Josephine saw that pictures and was like #girrrrrrrrrl. I didn’t see what she meant, but now I do.

However he and I be beefing over ideas, ambition, work, the best way to go about shit. And as far as I am concerned, I need passion in my life. Not just passion for me, but a partner has to have a thang that gives them JOY when they jump outta bed, feel me. And he is working on cultivating that thang in the mean time a part of me is like “nains, remember the last time you had a passion beef, you left an entire apartment behind.” #Ummhmm

But I ain’t that person anymore either.

At the same time he was? observant enough to point out to me that he knows that I need to eat not when I am hungry, but right before I get hungry to avoid me turning into an #allcitygremlin. #Word. #WeknowBlackgirlssnackhabitsin 2010?

The truth is, I love both of them. In the name of all things #fearlessyvulnerble.

The Love is different for each, but its there.

I Love myself as well. This means that I try and do what makes me comfortable and try to be honest. In some ways writing this post is part of keeping it honest AND a part of not controlling outcomes. Feel me?

Again with regard to outcomes. I certainly have NO idea what will happen.

Fall is coming, and perhaps because of that, I been feeling some kinda way.I? have more work than ever, so I think my kickin’ it time is more precious than before because there is less of it.

And its #libraseason?

This been on my bird. It feel good to say it. I don’t mean no harm.

Why is it so hard to do shit and let go of the outcome?

You do that recently?

You ever share a kicking it’ space with a boo?

Was I bold for what I said?

Real Spit. #Oakland

I am so Glad my mother is alive today.

Some shit went down in Oakland that I can’t get into and I think that much of the subtext of distress/anger I been feeling this week has to do with the fact that it is only by God’s grace that a bullet ain’t strike her.

That she is still alive.

As many of you know I was working on a proposal to study the impact of Crack on Oakland specifically but cities in general.

In one of my classes, one of my peers asked me the “so what” question.

The “so what” question is basically “who should give a fuck about the fact that you are doing this” question. It is reasonable. Right?

But peep game, this woman’s project was four condom. Meaning that she censored herself out of desire of be published.

People without heart need to stay out my face. #OnEverything.

Trust. I want to be published however, I am not gone compromise my heart to do it. I am the person that has to live with that shit every day, not anyone else.

And if I do compromise myself to do it, I ain’t gonna be up in people face ‘taumbout the “so what” question.

In class, a colleague spoke up for me, because I honestly was in shock and ain’t know what to say.

She said that my project has meaning for people who are interested in:

Why then, apart from the reason stated above, did she fail to tell you everything you cialis generika Click This Link need to know. Hefner believes, the American people voted this past November, 2008 with their online viagra slovak-republic.org hearts, minds and ballots for the next President of the United States and chose the young senator from Illinois, Barack Obama. The harder erection, the viagra sale better it is. Therefore, most medications for the disease merely relieve the burning and other symptoms and cannot actually cure the condition. cheap levitra Drug Reform

Violence? as a Public Health Issue

Drug Policy

Race, Gender and Drug Policy

Race and Public Policy

Modern US? City History

The Crack Epidemic and the Global Economy

Etc.

For me. Violence is a feminist project. Violence is a huge part of my work because so much of where I come from is marked by it.

My mother’s experience reminds me.

I am glad she is alive. I almost ain’t have my mother, and it kinda got me fucked up.

Thank you for reading.
