Sex & Empowerment in "Run the World"

This week’s CherryPop episode is brought to you by the authentic and unapologetic Starz original series, "Run the World." "Run the World" follows four smart, vibrant, and fiercely loyal Black women in Harlem as they strive towards world Domination. The show's creator, writer, and EP, Leigh Davenport, kicks the heartfelt, hilarious, and honest conversation off by sharing the inspiring story behind the series, and her personal journey towards creating safe, open, and fun spaces to express sex and the female experience on screen. Later on stars, Bresha Webb and Andrea Bordeaux join Leigh and Meg to discuss all the juicy details from episode 1. Bresha and Andrea describe their favorite sex scenes from film and tv, filming intimate scenes for the first time in "Run the World," and give their hot takes on whiskey d**k. 

"I love how Run the World is showing women being in control of their own sexuality." -Bresha Webb
