Abstract

Historically, research literature has focused on prevention components of sexuality with the African American community. There has been an emphasis on topics such as teenage pregnancy, unplanned births, contraceptive use, and the prevention of sexually transmitted infections. Using a Black Feminist Theoretical framework, this study explores how Black women construct ideas about Black womanhood and sexuality through the narratives and experiences of their network, which can include family members and community members. The purpose of this approach is to help transition the deficit based, prevention only, hypersexual messages that have permeated the Black female community into an empowering approach to sexuality and sexuality research.
