Forward Figures ft Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah
‘Forward Figures: Untold Stories of Black Girls and Women’ is part of our Women’s History Month series. In this episode, Tracine talks to Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, a Ghanaian feminist, writer and author of The Sex Lives of African Women, which Publishers Weekly described as “an astonishing report on the quest for sexual liberation.” We talk with Nana Darkoa about writing her book, which tells the stories of Black women’s experiences around sex, sexualities, and pleasure. We also talk to Nana Darkoa about creating safer spaces to talk about sex with our young people and supporting them through their sexual journeys.
