Hypersexualization of Black Girls and Femmes #BlackYouthSexuality w/ Amaya Jacques

We’re continuing the Black Youth Sexuality season with Amaya Jacques (she/her), a youth advocate/activist and model in New Orleans. She joins BFR in discussing how and why she centers young people in her activism, the harmful effects of school dress codes, and the sexualization of young Black girls’ bodies. Amaya also talks about getting rid of the cop in your head and how modeling has opened up new avenues for her to explore her self-expression.
