MJ Mays is an indie author and poet whose work speaks to the power of personal freedom and honest expression. Her debut collection, Erotic Sapiosexual: Suppressed Desires of a Woman, dives into the complexities of longing, intimacy, and the unspoken thoughts many women carry but are often afraid to voice.Through her poetry, MJ creates space for conversations about sexual fulfillment, emotional connection, and the importance of communication in relationships. Her writing challenges silence and invites readers to reflect on what it means to be fully seen, heard, and understood.MJ has also been featured on platforms such as the Writing While Black Podcast, where she discussed themes of sexual fulfillment, self-awareness, and the freedom that comes from embracing one’s authentic self.A Conversation Rooted in Truth and Expression
