#RespectHerSex is a movement to empower women to embrace their sex and sexuality free from shame. #RespectHerSex embodies the core belief that true equality is only achieved when women own and control their sex and sexuality. Popularized on Instagram and other social media properties, it is a series of projects that have been exhibited across the United States. Learn more at www.respecthersex.com.

Madame X Book 1.1 is the first in a series which follows the story of one woman's sexual self-discovery. The novella explores the realities and complexities of how women engage with sex. Sometimes seductive, sometimes provocative, Madame X Book 1.1 is a window into the female experience. Learn more at www.madamexstory.com.
