Karrine Steffans, a.k.a “Superhead,” was a very popular video vixen in the 2000s. She appeared in more than 20 music videos, including “Hey Papi” by Jay-Z and “Danger” by Mystikal.

Her sexual involvement with rappers and hip-hop artists caused quite the controversy. And even more, when she wrote about her experience in her New York Times bestselling book “Confessions of a Video Vixen.”

Since then, Steffans (now Elisabeth Ovesen) has gone on to author even more books. Many of her books educate and empower women as it relates to sex and sexuality.

In her book “Vindicated: Confessions of a Video Vixen, 10 Years Later” she says, “I realized recently that I’m surrounded by young women who have never had a sexual revolution. So I became almost this figure, this Joan of Arc [for them]”.

She also works as a university keynote speaker and workshop leader where she teaches everything from healthy eating to female sexual autonomy. You can listen to her thoughts on season one of the “Asking For A Friend” podcast right here on 21Ninety.
