Women's History Month! - a podcast by Brionna Jimerson

Happy Women’s History Month! What better way to kick off the month than with….chatting all things vagina. Fellow traveller Nichelle was reading “Pussy: A Reclamation” by Regena Thomashauer over breakfast one morning, and we began a conversation about the vagina, shame, self-knowledge, and much more. Enjoy this bonus episode of Bri Books, just in time for Women’s History Month. If you’re loving the show, write a review of the podcast on iTunes!

  

Show Notes

• 0:20 - On the poignancy of celebrating Black History and Women’s History back to back
• 0:45 - Welcome to Women’s History Month on Bri Books! In March, all episodes will feature and be about women in different industries and interests.
• 2:40 - Meet Nichelle (@inspire1824), a medical social worker celebrating her 50th birthday year in Bali. Nichelle makes a point to spend every big 0 birthday abroad, and this was the most wonderful place she could think to travel. She loves to read sci fi, fiction, mysteries.
• 4:30 - “Pussy” was a gift to Nichelle from a friend, born out of honest (albeit awkward) conversation among girlfriends. They talked honestly, about what the book is, the body, and how the author discusses bodies.
• 5:30 - The book focuses a lot on understanding where your beliefs come from--looking back on how you were taught to look at your body and vagina, and how you were taught to take care of and look at it and how to reconnect.
• 6:40 - Define: “Pussy” v. “vagina”
• Nichelle’s reading: More Octavia Spencer, and hopefully more writing
• I’m reading: A Children’s Illustrated History of Korea
