Say Your Mind: Twerking & Truths

Say Your Mind: Twerking & Truths

Author: aqstudiosafrica November 13, 2023 Duration: 27:34
Kelechi Okafor is an actress, a podcaster, a pole dance studio owner, a mama, and the woman who encourages us all to ‘Say Our Mind.’ She sits down with Malaka to talk about body positivity, the end of relationships, and what an Ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon jungle taught her about unconditional love.

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.
