When it comes to talking about sex, the accepted wisdom is that parents and kids alike would just rather not. But Kansas City poet Natasha Ria El-Scari doesn't think that's healthy.
Neither does her college-age son, who says he's benefited from his mother's openness and candor in a way his peers are missing out on.
El-Scari attended a historically black college, then went on graduate studies at 海角论坛, ultimately leaving academia to become a writer and tell the stories of "ordinary black women."
