"The Caged Birds and the Bees": The Sex Talk We Forgot to Give Black Girls Korina Caton

This book is the course correcting prevention mechanism of "the talk" we never had. Due to the hyper-sexualization of young black girls... many women of today complained about their guardians blocking their access to knowledge about their bodies, dating or how to choose the correct partners. The author Korina Caton decided to construct a one-on-one "birds and the bees talk" to debunk the myths that "learning about sex exposes you to having sex". If young ladies can't go anywhere else... they can pick up this book and start here. She explains why there is no innocence in ignorance when it comes to sex. And that teaching young black women about their feminine autonomy can actually counteract the ills of certain black cultures where abuse, poverty and the out of wedlock rate runs rampant. It's time to set the caged birds and the bees free.
