AfroerotiK

Erotic provocateur, racially-influenced humanist, relentless champion for the oppressed, and facilitator for social change, Scottie Lowe is the brain child, creative genius and the blood, sweat, and tears behind AfroerotiK. Intended to be part academic, part educational, and part sensual, she, yes SHE gave birth to the website to provide people of African descent a place to escape the narrow-mined, stereotypical, limiting and oft-times degrading beliefs that abound about our sexuality. No, not all Black men are driven by lust by white flesh or to create babies and walk away. No, not all Black women are promiscuous welfare queens. And as hard as it may be to believe, no, not all gay Black men are feminine, down low, or HIV positive. Scottie is putting everything on the table to discuss, debate, and dismantle stereotypes in a healthy exchange of ideas. She hopes to provide a more holistic, informed, and enlightened discussion of Black sexuality and dreams of helping couples be more open, honest, and adventurous in their relationships.

What is important to me.



The most important thing in my life is breaking the chains of mental slavery that bind African Americans today. Liberating us from the belief systems we learned in slavery is paramount to any other thing I can do in my lifetime. We hold on to the things we learned in slavery and they are detrimental to our psyche, they debilitate us, they cripple us emotionally and psychologically, and we defend those things to the death. It is of the utmost importance to make my people see that the things that are considered normal, the beliefs that have gone unquestioned for centuries, and the way of life we adapted when we were enslaved are poisonous to our souls.

Being loved and loving is important to me. I was created to give love. I have so much in me to give. To shave my love with someone is the greatest gift I could be given. To love a mate and children are essential to my existence. As an expression and manifestation of The One Most High, it is my responsibility to love. Loving humanity, loving the earth are all expressions of love but for me, the most important love to share is that with the family one creates.

Eradicating racism is important to me. Ridding white people of the false sense of superiority that allows them to rule and dominate the world is essential to me. Restoring truth and balance to the universe is my job. I’m sickened by the perpetuation of white supremacy around the globe and I will cry out at every instance in order to stop the diseased thinking that has perpetuated genocide, slavery, and oppression of people of color around the globe.
