The Phallic Tongue of the Chingona Recorded Webinar
This webinar explores the tongue as a site of language, memory, desire, and survival. Across two live sessions, participants are invited to examine how the tongue holds history and power, from colonial violence and translation to pleasure, voice, and erotic expression.
Drawing from Chicana and Xicana feminist frameworks and contemporary understandings of fascia and anatomy, this course reframes the tongue beyond silence or shame.
Participants will explore the root of chingar to chingona, revisit La Malinche as translator and bridge rather than traitor, and learn how the tongue, breath, and fascia connect voice to the pelvic floor and sexual expression.
This webinar is designed for sexuality professionals seeking continuing education, for community learners interested in re-animating their Chingonisma through cultural memory and embodied knowledge, and for professionals who work with Chicana, Xicana, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, and diasporic communities of Mesoamerica or who have friends, community and family within these communities. It also invites those seeking to deepen cultural competency and to carry that understanding back to their own lineage, reflecting on how memory, embodiment, and sovereignty live within their ancestral stories as well. No prior background in anatomy or sexuality studies is required.Â
