I was talking to a good friend of mine who complained that I don’t talk about myself enough on my own blog. Honestly I don’t think I’m the world’s most interesting person – but to appease a buddy I wrote and submitted a blogging story to the Black Weblogs Awards<\/a> and I’d thought I’d share it with all of you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\n\"Everyone<\/a>I started BlasianBytch.com in my senior year of college. I was a broke overworked fulltime student with 3 jobs one of which was exotic dancing.<\/p>\n

It started out as a AdultFriend Finder blog, I was a little shocked that the ramblings of a chubby co-ed stripper would be so popular with so many different types of people.\u00a0\u00a0 I expanded to a platform that facilitated better communication and then my own domain.<\/p>\n

I had a very interesting time talking about the humorous side of sex and sexuality for an entire year before I moved to my own domain.\u00a0\u00a0 Writing was my way of reclaiming myself and giving myself a voice.\u00a0 As a professional journalist and an exotic dancer you are trained to have a certain level of detachment with your subject matter.\u00a0 Blogging is completely different and made me feel like I reclaimed that little piece of humanity lost to become a journalist\/booty shaker.<\/p>\n

After I graduated, and realized a Print Journalism degree would be worth more if printed on toilet paper, blogging was my way to keep a smile on my face and keep my skills sharp until the newspaper industry stops imploding.<\/p>\n

But more than just a cheap substitute for professional achievement, for me BlasianBytch.com has been my way of making Black\/Asian sexuality less taboo and alien, especially to Black women.\u00a0 I\u2019ve encouraged other women to write erotica explore their sexuality and to look at people in the adult industry differently. \u00a0There\u2019s something wrong when a grown woman needs another persona to explore their sexual identity *Beyonce* or measures the goodness of a person\u2019s heart by the tally on their bedpost.\u00a0 Sexuality is a part of a whole being, denying it is self-destruction.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve noticed for too long the sexual expression of Black women has been vilified, I write because I want to change that.\u00a0 I grew up a \u201cmixed\u201d girl, who didn\u2019t look all that mixed.\u00a0 Instead of feeling like I came out wrong or damaged I embraced my Black sensuality and express it with great ease.\u00a0\u00a0 That can be through erotic fiction or just talking frankly about masturbation and finding humor in the way humans have found to pleasure themselves.<\/p>\n

Hopefully by having these frank discussions about the sexual mystique of Blacks and Asians , childish stereotypes can be dispelled.\u00a0 And if not, we can always make ourselves feel better by laughing at weird sex toys and looking at sexy people.<\/p>\n
