Love who you love with pride

Written By Eliza Colón

It’s June, summer is here and most importantly, it's Pride! The festivities, advocacy, and LGBTQ+ movement would not have been possible without the hard work of Black and minority activists. To kick off Pride month, we’re gonna turn up the heat a little— let’s talk about sex. These Black-owned sexual health brands encourage healthy, emotional connections and endless possibilities regardless of who you love. Be fearless, be fluid, be free. Happy Pride!

Feelmore Adult Gallery

The Oakland-based shop is dedicated to more than spicing up your personal care routine. After visiting, you may leave with some literary activism, a massage candle, or something even more personal. Feelmore is creating a safe space for all by educating the community on healthy sexual practices. (photo: @feelmoreadult)

Enby

Enby is the all-inclusive brand of our dreams. The company, whose name is another term for non-binary, is climate concious, community-focused and mission driven. Their wide-array of products are made specifically with the trans, gender-noncomforming consumer in mind. And since we love a brand that gives back, a portion of the profits are donated to organizations that are improving the lives of Queer people of color. (photo: @shopenby)

A feminine care routine with straight-forward ingredients will have your lady-parts ready for any encounter. (photo: @thehoneypotco)
