An African-American Guide To Ethical Non-Monogamy

An African-American Guide To Ethical Non-Monogamy is a how to guide of the various love styles under the ethical non-monogamy umbrella.

Discover the differences and benefits of: Open, Swinging, Polygyny, Polyandry, Polyamory and resolve which love style(s) is best for you. We will demonstrate ways to communicate authentically, set boundaries and learn to become responsible for your own emotions. Let us begin.

REVIEWS

"While in my own book (Love's Not Color Blind) I talk about the lack of Black representation in polyamorous spaces, a lot of that comes down to a lack of diversity in polyamorous educational resources. Taylor Sparks addresses that lack of resources in a tangible way by creating a focused book full of real world tools for people to engage ethical non-monogamy in a meaningful way. This is a needed voice at a needed time." - Kevin A. Patterson, M.Ed., Author-Love's Not Color Blind

"The subject of polyamorous relationships is often complicated and the tools and tips the author has shared will definitely help you understand what polyamorous relationships are and will help them reveal something of deeper value and meaning in their relationships. It will also help readers create their own definition of how to achieve a healthy intimate relationship." Anthony Yelfonzia & Tanya Griffin

"Finally a book on Black Polyamorous Love! Thank you and congrats to the brilliant and beautifully talented boss babe, Taylor Sparks (aka Mariposa). Do, if you didn't know... now you know! Buy it while it's hot!" William Foy

"This book is a wonderful and much needed catalyst for conversations and exploration for individuals and couples in the African American (Black) community about the possible variability in relationships. The book feels like the comfort we all love and need to sit down and discuss topics with love and support.  I respect and honor how the book is informative and not a pick this lifestyle narrative.  A must read for couples and individuals to make wise choices not emotional decisions."  Renelle E. Nelson LMFT, CST AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, Infidelity Recovery Strategist
