Desire & Discovery with Nana Dakora Sekyiamah
About this Event
There are writers who change the conversation, and then there are writers who prove the conversation was always happening, just without us.
Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah's The Sex Lives of African Women became exactly what it deserved to be: an instant classic, lauded by Publishers Weekly as an astonishing report on the quest for sexual liberation and named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist. Her new book, Seeking Sexual Freedom: African Rites, Rituals, and Sankofa in the Bedroom, goes deeper, tracing the rites, rituals, and inherited wisdoms that shape how African women experience and claim pleasure on their own terms. Sharmaine Lovegrove published Nana Darkoa at Dialogue Books, and is delighted to welcome her to Chapters for an evening that is frank, warm, and entirely without apology.
An award-winning podcaster, festival curator, and Co-Founder of the Institute of Journalism and Social Change, Nana Darkoa is one of the most important voices working at the intersection of African womanhood, pleasure, and liberation. Her work has placed her on the BBC's 100 Inspirational and Influential Women list and New Africa magazine's 100 Inspirational Africans.
This is a conversation about sex, freedom, body sovereignty, and the radical act of telling the truth about African women's lives.
