About Us
Dr. Clarissa Francis, a scholar-activist and consultant, specializes in the Hot Girl Movement, exploring its connection to Pleasure Activism and Megan Thee Stallion's Hot Girl Summer as pivotal aspects of Black women's journey toward sexual liberation. In 2022, she self-published her debut memoir, "Phreak Like Me: Becoming The Real Hot Girl Doc," revealing her profound personal healing. Dr. Francis also introduced an apparel line embodying the movement's principles: bodily autonomy, sexual agency, and pleasure.
Presently, she contributes to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee at the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) and the Leadership Collective of the Women of Color Sexual Health Network (WoCSHN). Dr. Francis offers workshops, training, and consulting services on sexual health, reproductive justice, peer education, and mental wellness. Excited about future collaborations, she looks forward to joining forces with scholars, practitioners, activists, and influencers for impactful publications and advocacy initiatives.
