Meet Taylisha Tay” Clark | Sexual Intelligence Coach “

We had the good fortune of connecting with Taylisha “Tay” Clark and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylisha “Tay”, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
I founded Cliterate in November 2020, drawing inspiration from a multitude of life experiences. As a divorced teenage mother, life unfolded quickly, and I strongly believe that proper sex education would have guided me to make better decisions. My curiosity, unfortunately, led me down unexpected paths, and I wanted to change that narrative.

While rediscovering my identity beyond motherhood and marriage, I realized a shared lack of self-awareness and sexual knowledge within my local communities. It struck me that despite engaging in sexual activities, there remained a significant taboo around sex education, especially when it came to pleasure. I yearned to create a safe space that offered education, resources, and empowerment, allowing individuals to embrace their true selves and reclaim their pleasure.

Cliterate began to gain momentum when I ventured into the pop-up world after COVID-19, relying on word-of-mouth marketing. However, I soon noticed that I didn’t quite fit into existing spaces. People would give side-eye glances, appear uncomfortable, and then discreetly return without their partners to engage in conversations or make purchases. This motivated me to curate our own events called The Naughty List Exchange, where we could establish our own inclusive space.

Alongside my best friend Courtney Myers, I co-founded Healing Girl Season—a safe and intimate community space dedicated to BIPOC women and individuals. Here, we embark on a transformative journey together, embracing vulnerability and honesty as badges of honor.

Within this space, we uplift and support one another through various activities and provide meaningful take-home gifts like intention journals and plant manifestation stations. Our aim is to create an environment where individuals can build each other up and experience healing.

I firmly believe that the true power of our sexual energy is influenced by a range of factors, including our mental, physical, emotional, and financial well-being. To truly embrace our sexual wellness, we must strive for wholeness in all these aspects, as they are interconnected. Healing Girl Season offers a space for releasing and healing, allowing individuals to nurture themselves. In parallel, Cliterate provides the necessary education and resources to tap into one’s authentic sexual energy and become the most fluid and empowered version of oneself. Together, these initiatives complement each other, fostering personal growth and embracing holistic sexual well-being.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Cliterate takes a holistic approach to sexual wellness, considering the bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects of mental health. By addressing all these dimensions, Cliterate aims to empower individuals and help them build a strong foundation of sexual knowledge and understanding. Through proper sex education, we stimulate the mental aspect of sexual well-being, while also offering a range of pleasure tools for physical enjoyment.

Cliterate’s focus is on creating a safe and inclusive space for people of all backgrounds. We recognize that everyone deserves the opportunity to explore their sexuality with security and knowledge. By providing tools and resources that enable individuals to understand their bodies, minds, and spirits, Cliterate promotes proper self-love and helps individuals radiate positive sexual energy.

One of Cliterate’s key goals is to close the orgasm gap between men and women. By empowering the clitoris, a highly sensitive and often overlooked organ, we aim to enhance women’s sexual experiences and bridge the gap in pleasure. By fostering knowledge, understanding, and empowerment, Cliterate encourages individuals to embrace their sexual selves and venture into the unknown with confidence.

Using the power of social media, podcasts, and local networking, I set out to close the orgasm gap that weighs heavily on society. Through these channels, Cliterate strives to provide knowledge, promote open discussions, and empower individuals in their sexual journeys. The ultimate goal is to create a world where pleasure and sexual well-being are embraced without shame or stigma.

Cliterate offers services such as Sex Education Presentations, Public Speaking Engagements, Bachelorette Parties, Girls Night In’s, Couple Adventures, Consultations, Vendor opportunities, & much more..

Thursday – Triple Crown Thursdays @ Whiskey River North! Awesome cheap drink specials, awesome country music, & free museums Thursday so visit all the museums before heading out for a night of fun!
Sunday- Union Kitchen for brunch, Chapman & Kirby Sunday Funday (taco truck there is amazing)

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would first & foremost give thanks to God. Without him, nothing would be possible. My closest friends & family including Courtney Myers & Bre’Anna Simpson to name a couple who continuously support me through all my trials and successes in life both personal & professional. A huge appreciation to the local Houston small businesses that have believed in my vision since the beginning and attend, post, & support all of my business ventures. A huge thank you to my sponsors, AVOW Texas, BeeBusy, & Slapwoods for always providing amazing goodies for the guests of my events.
