Pleasure Activism

“Feeling good is not frivolous. It is freedom.”
— Adrienne Maree Brown

AMB weaves together essays, interviews, and personal reflections, showing us how reclaiming pleasure—erotic, sensual, communal, creative—is key to liberation. Drawing from Black feminist thought, social movements, and her own life, she challenges the systems that program us to feel unworthy and teach us to fear joy. She shows us the mechanics of unhooking pleasure from capitalism and patriarchy - returning it to the realm of the sacred, the collective, the revolutionary. Ps; Her IG is fire: @adriennemareebrown
