A Sexual Wellness Place Where Black Women Feel…
seen. heard. healed. celebrated.
When you feel good,
you feel good
Let’s be real here – when it comes to your sexual wellness, you have more questions than answers.
And you’re not alone. two out of five women named the internet as their go-to resource for information and answers about their sexual health.
But clearing your Google search results every night and relying on the group chat–, while helpful–, is not the care and nurturance you deserve. And as a Black woman, you deserve a lot–, especially when it comes to your sexual wellness. You’re faced with systemic racism, sexism, misogynoir and implicit bias that impacts how you experience wellness. And on top of that, there are few spaces for you to openly and safely share your story and receive support around your sexual health. You deserve this, sis. We see the luxury and ease you readily welcome into your life and we want you to keep that same energy with your sexual wellness.
is your place to ease into curiosities and begin your sexual wellness journey with a community of intentional support and affirmation so you feel good.
I'm ready to feel good.

Sexual wellness is more than just sexual health.
You’ve been working on your self-care game for years, and it’s paying off. But while you’ve been moisturizing and meditating, you forgot to focus on one of the most important parts of feeling good – sexual wellness.
And we’re not just talking about sex and masturbation (even though we do talk about that), we’re talking about:
Your understanding of your body
Your right to affirming and safe healthcare
Your intimate and sexual life
Your pleasure and desires
Your healing from sexual trauma
Your relationships, communication, and boundaries
And a million other things you never thought to associate with sexual wellness. Because sexual wellness is about so much more than what’s going on between your legs. It’s also about what’s going on in your heart, in your mind, in your world. And we’re moving through all of that, together.
Put a finger down if…
You dread going to the doctor because you don’t know what questions to ask
You’re tired of falling into the same relationship cycles over and over
You feel uncomfortable asking your partner for what you want in bed
You didn’t grow up having conversations about sex and now you’re grown and still have questions
You go to the internet for answers about your sexual health concerns before consulting with your doctor
You agree with Fannie Lou Hammer, you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired

Okay, bet. What would it look like if you:
Took daily actions to enhance your sexual wellness?
Tended to the wound from your past relationships?
Ask for what you want or simply gift it to yourself?
Asked your doctors that question that's been on your mind?
Released shame and let yourself feel or experience pleasure and joy?
Confidently make informed decisions about your sexual desires and health?
Set boundaries within your relationships that others respect and follow?
Your Sexual Wellness Home
We see you, sis– you’re moving through uncertainty, heartbreak, shame, and fear when it comes to your health and relationships. The system failed you.
Education and healthcare didn’t prepare or support you in the ways that you needed. And maybe you weren’t allowed to bring this up or bring this home. And despite having your shit (mostly!) together, you’re still a grown-ass woman that still has a lot of curiosities about sexual wellness. We’re done being left in the dark. You deserve good health, good sex, good relationships, good EVERYTHING. And we’ve created a space where you’re prepared to make informed and unapologetic decisions about your body, identity, relationships, and sexual health – all while being seen, heard, and celebrated.
Sugar is the digital sexual wellness home for Black women providing content, community, and expert care where Black women feel seen, heard, and celebrated.
About Kimberly Huggins, LSW, MPH, MEd
my storyI’m a licensed social worker and sexuality educator with over a decade of experience supporting women’s healing and (un)learning from the classroom, exam room, and therapy space.
My reasonAfter the dust settled on a toxic relationship, and I cried my last tear, I had to ask myself some really hard questions and make some really big decisions. Who was I in that relationship and what was I telling myself about my worth in it? At which point did I put myself last and them first? What do I want to experience and how do I want to feel in my next relationship? I hated the feeling of deep diving through these pain points alone and want to make sure you don’t have to either.
About Brittany Brathwaite, MSW, MPH
my storyI am a reproductive justice activist, youth worker, and community accountable scholar with a deep commitment to supporting the leadership, organizing, and healing of Black girls.
My reasonIt was getting an HPV diagnosis in college and watching the nurse practitioner shrug her shoulders. And despite how common HPV is I was still filled with shame, did not understand how to communicate that with my new partner, and a stale pamphlet entitled “HPV & you” - I deserved support, care — better.
We created this because we experienced this.
We are the founders of Kimbritive, the unapologetic sexual wellness platform reimagining the health and wellbeing of Black women and girls. We’re best friends who started Kimbritive as a love letter to ourselves, our homegirls, and every Black woman who had to figure it out by themselves but didn’t want to because they shouldn’t have to.
We both have different personal and professional experiences that led us to this mission – each clarifying our desire to build sexual wellness resources that speak to Black women. As time went on, it became more and more clear that Black women need more than just information— we need a space of our own to process this all together.
We deserve a space to help us get through hard things – and a soft place to land.
