The Fucking Playlist Takeover: Sara Elise

Welcome to my Fucking Playlist takeover. Each week creatives from all over the world select their top songs for, you guessed it, fucking. This week, it's Sara Elise.

Sara Elise is a black, indigenous, queer, femme living in Brooklyn, NY. She spends much of her thought space contemplating pleasure, pain, healing, destruction, and growth- and how inextricably those concepts are linked. To that end, Sara Elise has deep interests in BDSM, ritualisation, relationship dynamics, and the development of personal awareness + well-being.

She can usually be found enjoying delicious food and wine with someone equally as delicious; boarding a plane to go somewhere warm; speaking on panels about entrepreneurship and manifestation; or coordinating events + creating spaces for people to heal through personal challenges, empower themselves to ask questions, and celebrate all the goodness in this life.
