At the heart of our chat with Sarah we explore the question of how women’s sexuality functions in Morocco, human desires and how those are treated differently depending on the cultural, political, and social structure one is born into to. She talks about her experience as a writing teacher and her the time she spent in Morocco researching women sex workers, the relationships she formed there, and how she took a journey of self-exploration and questioning her own identity while there and in the years after.
