In a world that constantly demands resilience, how often do you give yourself permission to experience pleasure? In this episode of Talkin All Proper, we explore why embracing joy—especially in times of suffering—is not just self-care but a radical act of resistance.  

Rest and pleasure have long been politicized, particularly for Black and Brown bodies. But what if reclaiming them is one of the most powerful ways to resist? We dive into the concept of centering joy as a tool for liberation, and share our favorite ways to tap into pleasure—even when the world feels heavy.  

Join us as we unpack the power of pleasure, why it matters now more than ever, and how you can cultivate more of it in your own life.
