Curating sexual wellness and pleasure for Black Women through education expression, experience, and empowerment.
The Story
For over a decade...
I've been on a mission to help Black Women reclaim what's rightfully theirs. Pleasure without apology. Bodies without shame. Wellness without gatekeeping. Desire without judgment.
It started with Bare It All in 2014. A self-published book combining photography, poetry, and prose that refused to photoshop bodies or hide Black sensuality. That work became annual art shows, a community I called family, and a catalyst for my own transformation.
And I learned something through that art. Representation matters, and liberation requires more than images. It requires education that centers our experiences. Safe spaces where we can speak freely about desire, shame, and healing. Tangible experiences that move us and inform us. Empowerment through tools that support our wellness
That realization led me to become a Certified Sex Educator, Certified Clinical Sexuality Coach, and Certified Master Sexpert. I wanted to offer education, health literacy, and transformation.
In 2026, I rebranded from Velvet Lenae to SRS | Sweet • Raw • Sticky™ because the work had evolved beyond just me. SRS is the company that holds everything: the education, the sexual health and wellness programming, the experiences, the products, the partnerships, the vision.
Sweet is the pleasure and wellness we deserve.
Raw is the truth we've been afraid to speak.
Sticky is the connection that stays with you long after our work together ends.
