In the video below is my chat with Yasmeena Ali. Yasmeena is a feminist who is an erotic nude model, atheist, vegan, and a photographer. We discuss her childhood transitioning from Taliban Afghanistan to the United Kingdom; leaving Islam; becoming an Ex-Muslim; death threats from family; hijabi porn; sensuality versus sexuality, etc. It was a wonderful conversation.
