London!!! Can I pull you for a chat!? This Sunday!! Join us for an exclusive book signing and meet & greet with the incredible @ihartericka at The Common Press Dalston 💜💜💜📖📖📖✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
Ericka will be signing copies of their bestselling debut book, Nasty Work: Resist Systems, Explore Desire, and Liberate Yourself, published by @storehousevoices . Accessible, candid, and revolutionary, Nasty Work takes down society’s deeply entrenched colonial views on sex and gender, exploring how we can—and should—reclaim our minds and bodies for a more pleasurable existence.
As a Black, queer, non-binary, disabled femme, Ericka Hart believes that sex ed done right can actually be a tool for liberation. In Nasty Work, she breaks down the ways that social implications keep us from experiencing pleasure, particularly for marginalized communities across race, gender, sexuality, and ability, and how we can dismantle these oppressive myths. From examining what guides our attraction to others to the history of consent, Ericka Hart takes the blinders off and reveals a more empowering view of sex and sexuality.
Nasty Work blends eye-opening research with powerful, poignant personal narrative that disrupts everything you thought you knew about sex and society, offering a liberatory framework that makes pleasure accessible for all.
Ericka Hart, M.Ed. (she/they) has been teaching comprehensive, trauma-informed, consent- and pleasure-based sex-ed at the elementary, high school, undergraduate and graduate level for the past fifteen years and is now the founder of her own sexuality education training program, Sex Ed as Resistance. She co-hosts the critically acclaimed podcast Hoodrat to Headwrap with her partner, Ebony, and is the mom to their child, East Francis Coltrane (and their cockapoo, Baguette).
