LAUREN<br />

I am Lauren Simone Prosper, <strong>and</strong> I identify<br />

<strong>with</strong> a myriad of descriptors: Black, Haitian,<br />

Queer, Pansexual, Fairy, Parent, <strong>with</strong> loc’d<br />

hair, embracing a sex-positive, pro-pleasure,<br />

consent-focused, <strong>and</strong> anti-rape activism stance.<br />

Reflecting on my journey, I realize how my<br />

initial misconceptions about sex <strong>and</strong> pleasure<br />

evolved from religious <strong>and</strong> heteronormative<br />

perspectives influenced by my environment<br />

<strong>and</strong> a lack of inclusive sex education. Originally<br />

viewing sex merely as a duty <strong>with</strong>in marriage<br />

<strong>and</strong> for reproduction, I’ve learned to redefine it<br />

as a personal experience where pleasure is selfderived,<br />

not just provided to others.<br />

“Caring for myself is not<br />

self-indulgence, it is<br />

self-preservation <strong>and</strong> that is<br />

an act of political warefare.”<br />

-Audre Lorde<br />

Today, I advocate for everyone to define<br />

<strong>and</strong> pursue their own pleasure safely <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>with</strong> intention. This shift has been crucial in<br />

how I experience intimacy <strong>and</strong> express my<br />

sexuality, both individually <strong>and</strong> <strong>with</strong> partners.<br />

By promoting regular sexual health practices<br />

<strong>and</strong> self-awareness, I aim to foster a life rich in<br />

love, joy, <strong>and</strong> pleasure. It’s a lifelong journey of<br />

evolution towards intentional <strong>and</strong> innate actions<br />

in all aspects of life, embracing continuous<br />

growth in self-love <strong>and</strong> personal fulfillment.
