Why are the lines outside of women’s bathrooms always longer than the men’s? Why is black considered a more formal color than pink or orange? Who is really impacted by anti-DEI policies?
In honor of Women’s History Month, Cee The Sex Lady hosted Nishita Rao–a sexuality researcher and educator, Reiki Grandmaster, Mandala Art Therapist, Carnatic Singer, and self proclaimed Belly Dance Enthusiast.
