When this theme of Decolonizing Love occurred to me for this episode, the first person I thought of was writer, Erotic Blueprint coach and self-described baby Orisha devotee Chelsea A. Hamlet, on whose blog I\u2019d been reading such titles as \u201cThis is how I wish my partners responded when I told them they gave me an STI\u201d and \u201cWhat About Your Friends with Herpes?\u201d elsewhere her essays about kink like \u201c\u2018I Had Extra-Freaky, Mind-Blowing Sex With A BDSM Dom And Hit Up A Kink Party\u2019. That she\u2019s \u201creading about the connection between pleasure, sexuality, feminism, and women of the African Diaspora along with redefining what self-pleasure means to her beyond traditional masturbation practices.\u201d\u2026 This is just the kind of frankness and perspective we need to decolonize love, and decolonize our thinking. We started the conversation with Chelsea\u2019s thoughts on the word Witch.About Missing Witches\n\nAmy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast. We do\nevery aspect from research to recording, it is a DIY labour of love and\ncraft.
