There’s a saying in Irish that goes, ‘Ní saoirse go saoirse na mban’. Which translates to that there is no freedom until the freedom of women.

I love the punch and power of these words, their left wing, anti-colonialist and feminist message.

To me, they evoke this sense of Irish women’s resistance to the status quo. Women who fought against the British Occupation. Women who stood up to the Church and its choke hold over the nation.

I feel a deep kinship with those women. Their radical and brave lives. I see my work on female sexuality as an expansion of theirs.  Because to me, there is no freedom until there is full sexual freedom. Anything else is a facsimile, an empty delivery on a promise.

I’m here to co-create this world with sexual freedom, where it’s no longer taboo or shameful or weird to be a fully expressed sexual woman. Instead it’s honoured and celebrated for the delight it brings. I want that strong pulse of the erotic that I feel as an undercurrent, to flourish and bloom. For women’s vessels to spill over and feed us all with joy and pleasure. For everyone’s life to be full of its richness. 

What a better world that will be.
