Fairer Sex

A Queen’s Liberation Story is a collaborative performance and programming series inviting black and brown women to reclaim their power in their sex stories.

Jori An Cotton, LSW, and Desirae “The Silent Poet” Hosley are collaborating on the project designed to give black and brown women/womxn the reassurance that talking about sex should not be shamed or hidden. In partnership with The Contemporary Arts Center, Cradle Cincinnati and Queens Village Cincinnati, A Queen’s Liberation Story is designed to give women/womxn the tools and knowledge to take ownership of their bodies, with a narrative that doesn’t shy away from reproductive health.

Through a series of three guided workshops over a one-month period, a diverse group of black and brown women/womxn from across Cincinnati will write and share their own experiences to create a performance based on their sex stories.
