Touch: Sex, Sexuality and Sensuality
Compiled by Tiffany Kagure Mugo & Kim Windvogel
This collection is a classic case of the proverb ‘if you want to go far go together’, as curating this book of essays meant having to see sex and intimacy from a bunch of different perspectives and contexts. This took my journey of understanding further pushing what I understood pleasure, sex and sexuality to be by having that intimate look through the eyes of others.

By the Light of My Father’s Smile
Alice Walker
This is one of the first books that depicted sex in a way that felt both intimate, sensual and real. It had one particular sex scene that you could feel in-body, in a way that didn’t make you uncomfortable or awkward. My first encounter with exploring sexual awakening in a way in which I felt seen, that was also wrapped in a brilliant story.
