The Sex Lives of African Women with Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
Digital Event
Award-winning blogger and feminist activist Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah is in conversation with performance storyteller and writer Mara Menzies to discuss the diverse experiences of black women and afro descendants living in the diaspora who feature in her book, The Sex Lives of African Women. Here we discover how Elizabeth navigates love and sex as a woman with a disability and hear of Fatou, a 60-year-old polyamorous woman from Senegal. From finding queer communities around the world, taboos around self-pleasure, to the role religion and spirituality can play in determining a woman's right to sexual pleasure, these stories are rich, moving and courageous. They shine a light on the individual journeys of women attempting to discover the sensual and sexual part of themselves.
