Summary

Today's History Story: Top Lies About Twerking We’re wrapping up our incredible conversation with Reverend Dr. Courtney Alma Bryant about erotic defiance and body reclamation. Erotic defiance is a powerful form of resistance and self-expression. Those brave enough to reclaim their bodies from racist and sexist constraints reap the liberating rewards that come with celebrating their desires without apology and living authentically in a world that often tries to dictate what is acceptable. In Part One last week, we explored historical figures and contemporary voices who broke the mold. Now, we’re ramping it up with a candid conversation that technically occurred after last week’s interview. But since the mics were still hot, and the exchange was so damn good, we had to release this Part Two that dives a bit deeper and gets a bit more real.
