The Journey to Polyamory

The guest, Ibita Soyers, shares her journey to polyamory. She grew up in a traditional black family with religious influences. She questioned societal norms around sex and relationships from a young age. Her queer identity was suppressed due to religious beliefs. She joined a fundamentalist church where she felt intense sexual shame. After leaving the church, she began exploring her queer identity, which led her to non-monogamy. She experienced swinging and eventually entered a volatile triad relationship. The relationship ended, and she and her husband embraced open non-monogamy, dating independently. She learned to prioritize her own needs and growth throughout her non-monogamous journey.
