'What mama didn't say' challenges common notions of sexuality

The documentary “What Mama Didn’t Say: A Dialogue about African American Sexuality” explores taboo issues about abuse and sexuality within the Black community.  Richmond youth attended a screening and offered their comments.  "Teens will do what they want to do, so it doesn’t help to try to scare them, in my opinion.  Just give them the info and let them make a conscious decision. These topics are so important for Black youth because we have the highest HIV rates in the country, our teen pregnancy rate is also high, and because in our communities these things are rarely discussed." More youth responses are on Richmond Pulse.
