As a special treat, this 12 months’s Beauty Carnival included a conversation about “the ability of the p,” which was a candid discussion about owning your sensuality and sexuality as a Black woman and girl in today’s society. Moderated by Sexual Essentials owner Samia P, the conversation featured the insight and gems from rappers Rubi Rose and Baby Tate, and P-Valley star Gail Bean as all of them shared with the audience their personal experiences with their journey to becoming comfortable of their sexuality.

Rubi Rose, who shouldn’t be only a model and rapper, but can be known for a few of her videos on the OnlyFans platform, shared with Samia P and the audience that she doesn’t shrink back from her sexuality though it has often turn into a subject of controversy in the case of her presence on the social platform. She disclosed that she thrives and monetizes her sensuality by “blocking out” her haters.

“I’ve made hundreds of thousands of dollars off posting sexy pictures. Guys just need to see and have conversations with a reasonably girl so why not use what God’s given you to generate profits off of it,” Rubi Rose said. “I’m capable of help other people in my family, feed other people, and most of us already take sexy pictures on Instagram so why not generate profits off of doing it.”

Relating to taking control of her own sexual energy, Baby Tate admitted to having some solo self-love time, including a “drawer full” value of self-pleasure toys. “Truthfully after I masturbate, I do manifest since it’s sex magic,” the rapper confided within the audience. Whether it’s solo sex or with a partner, the “I Am” rapper describes the sexual affirmation experience as “very powerful.”

Baby Tate continued, “It’s some of the powerful places to manifest and to affirm yourself.” Her affirmations include, “I’m the baddest bitch alive. I’m unstoppable. No person can stop me.”

As for Bean, owning her sexuality and sensuality includes a protracted bath and Kandi Burruss’ Kandi Kisses vibrator. “I’m in a long-distance relationship so I make a video here and there – perhaps after every bath,” she laughed together with Samia P and Rubi Rose.

“I do know they are saying broke n****s don’t deserve no p*ssy, but I believe uneducated about my rights, those are the form of men that don’t deserve this p*ssy,” Samia P said when discussing find out how to address a male’s view on the overturning of Roe v. Wade before giving yourself to them sexually. “Meaning we’ve to have the ability to pour into ourselves once we’re feeling lonely versus looking past things that you already know you’re really not okay with since you’re telling them it’s okay.”

When asked how women can proceed to feel empowered amidst the overturning Roe v. Wade, Rubi Rose encouraged each men and girls within the audience to make use of their voices to protest and lift awareness.

“We will start changing who’s in power to make these decisions and get a few of those decision-makers out of there,” Bean added. “Put some b*itches in there,” Rubi Rose chimed in.

Bean continued, “Proceed to carry conversations like this and see other people’s sides, see their differences, and understand why it’s essential that we’ve control over our bodies. Keep the narrative going, but most significantly, get out and vote. Spread awareness in the case of a number of the people in office, get them up out of there, show up, and know what’s on the ballot.”
