The Millenial's Journey to Having It All with Ashley Cobb

Leader and Lover

As Black women, many of us can agree that we have a complex relationship with sex and understanding our sexuality. Religion and the purity culture that permeates our community make it almost impossible for us to have safe spaces to speak candidly about our sexual desires and ideas around sex. Now, ya’ll know that I love speaking about sex, especially good sex and that is why I am so excited for you to meet today’s guest, Ashley Cobb, also known as Sex with Ashley, a woman who has dedicated her life and work around one idea: to help black women have better sex.

Join Ashley and I as we have a candid conversation on perceptions around sex within the black community, the impact of trauma on black women’s sex lives, the importance of therapy, and why now more than ever, it’s important for black women to have safe spaces. Listen in as Ashley dishes on her evolution from Ashley Cobb to Sex with Ashley and her journey to having it all.
