Sex On The Table

Where do our ideas about sex, identity, and self come from—and what happens when those ideas were never ours to begin with?In this episode of Sex on the Table, MoAndra sits down with sexologist and researcher Jaali to unpack Black women’s sexuality through a historical and cultural lens. What starts as a conversation about research quickly becomes a deeper exploration of unlearning, self-definition, and the messages Black women have inherited about their bodies, desire, and identity.Together, they explore how stereotypes like the mammy, the workhorse, and the “sassy” archetype continue to shape how Black women are perceived—and how those narratives show up in media, relationships, and self-image. The conversation also dives into the process of unlearning, the emotional labor of redefining yourself, and why self-determination is essential to sexual and personal liberation.This episode is an honest, layered discussion about identity, history, and what it means to reclaim your story on your own terms.
