Masakhane Center

Here are some Masakhane highlights from our wonderful summer interns this year!! They made the space truly special and we were so happy to have them ❤️

Happy Pride Month!!! It’s our time to protest, celebrate, and love! To all our fellow q***r, trans, and gender expansive folks, we see you! ❤️

At the bottom, there is a group of people from different backgrounds celebrating Pride by wearing Pride merchandise and waving the Pride flag. Page 2 is a light pink background with a large rainbow in the middle. At the top right corner there is the Masakhane logo. At the top of the page, there is text that says, “It’s Time To...”. There are three different colored boxes with different titles. The dark orange box says “Protest! Pride is not only a celebration, but a protest. Mobilize with local MOGAI organizations and your communities to fight for the rights of q***r, trans, and gender expansive folks.” The blue box says, “Celebrate! Celebrating Pride is always important. Q***r and trans joy is what makes the community thrive. Enjoy Pride!” The pink box says “Love! Whether it be loving your partner(s), friends, or yourself, love is at the core of Pride. Take the time and pleasure in loving who you love!” At the bottom of the page, there is an image of hands that are protesting for Pride Month.]

We received an anonymous question asking what the best s*x toy is for cl****is stimulation and a**l. As we mention in the post, there's no such thing as best when it comes to s*x toys. S*x toys, like anything else having to do with s*x or bodies, is highly individualized. Meaning it depends on how your body is built and what sensations you are looking to have. To help you make a decision on which toys are best for you, check out SheVibe's Toy Buyer's Guide (https://shevibe.com/pages/toy-information); and take a look at Oh Joy S*x Toy (https://www.ohjoys*xtoy.com/) for more info on using, cleaning and storing various toys.
