by

Vanessa Florence is a visionary and a leader in the areas of sacred sexuality, erotic dance and feminine empowerment.
She is the creatress of Dancing Eros journeys for women, Celebrating sexuality (aka Sexcamp) festival and co-creator of Mother-Tongue spoken word events. She is also passionate about being an entrepreneur, personal development, self expression and Beyonce.

She deeply inspired me when we were together in 2012, supported me with my own sexuality and creativity, and helped me a lot with my business. She’s totally ON-TO-IT!

I have recently interviewed her for my “interviews with integrated people” series and it resulted in an inspiring conversation and sharing of ideas.
