“Pleasure is critical.” Zimbabwean master of all trades, Tapiwa Guzha, tells us.  In this episode, Malaka and Nana Darkoa ask you to slow down the pace and catch your breath as Tapiwa and Namibian artist and tantric coach Nakashwa Julia ya Hango talk us through how to curate and celebrate a session of self-pleasure. “When I'm finding myself in that place of, ‘I'm feeling really emotional or angry,’ then I love to set up a little space for myself to channel this energy,”  Julia explains. “I think pleasure is such a healing pathway.” Malaka Grant and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah host the Adventures From the Bedrooms of African Women Podcast.

What began as a vital online space for storytelling has found a powerful new voice. Adventures From The Bedrooms Of African Women is a candid and necessary conversation hosted by Ghanaian writers Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah and Malaka Grant. They continue the tradition of their popular blog, creating an intimate audio archive where the private lives, desires, and realities of African women are brought into the open. Each episode delves into personal narratives and thoughtful discussions about sex, diverse sexualities, and the many dimensions of pleasure, topics often shrouded in silence or misconception. This isn't a clinical study or a sensationalized take; it's real talk from real experiences. By tuning into this podcast, you'll hear stories that are at once deeply personal and universally resonant, challenging stereotypes and expanding understanding. The hosts guide these explorations with empathy, insight, and a refreshing lack of judgment, fostering a sense of community and shared discovery. It’s a profound listen for anyone interested in the authentic intersections of society, culture, and personal freedom, all through the specific and powerful lens of African women's lives.
