I learned how to tenderly hold myself as a sensual and sexual being, and to reclaim my power. This process inspired me to continue healing, confronting and uprooting sexual shame in my life, especially through my art. 

​

The experience opened my eyes to how individual healing of sexual/sensual trauma is a catalyst for communal healing: when an individual begins to heal and share their sensuality, it inspires and allows others to do so as well. 

​

Audrey has created a space for womxn to find both individual and communal healing through confronting shame, individualism/competition, and problematic/limited ideologies of sexy/erotic, by working through the lens of pleasure, consent and boundary setting. 

​

Audre Lorde speaks to how individual sensual healing is tied to communal healing in a much more poignant way, “For not only do we touch our most profoundly creative source, but we do that which is female and self-affirming in the face of a racist, patriarchal, and anti-erotic society.”
