In Spencer’s works “I might be disabled, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get horny!”

The trauma of racial bullying can continue affecting people of colour for a long time.

Stevie never expected to have a sexual awakening in her mid-forties, especially one that involved men in their 20’s.

However, things didn’t quite go as planned and before she knew it, she had a whole bunch of young men knocking at her door.
