But so often, she noticed that something was holding these women back from achieving full liberation and unfettered joy. So, she set out to apply sankofa – which means learning from the past to inform the future – to sex and pleasure, reclaiming African traditions in a quest to achieve sexual freedom.In Seeking Sexual Freedom, Sekyiamah takes readers across the African continent, from Senegal to Tanzania and beyond, where she meets and trains with gurus, “witches”, and aunties whose job it is to guide girls through puberty rites and later through “marital training.” She discusses practices like beading and pulling, while highlighting the spiritual and gender-fluid nature of African traditional religions.With the ‘interruption’ of colonialism, Sekyiamah explores how western patriarchal norms led to warped ideals of beauty and shame, internalized racism, as well as to state and interpersonal violence. Sankofa, she explains, can help rid us of these obstacles that stand in the way of our sexual liberation.Using practical advice and prompts, Sekyiamah concludes this adventure by giving us the tools we need to establish a more joyful and free sexual practice of our own.“Nana Darkoa tells bold stories for women who need them. I adore the overlaps in this text between spirituality, geography, culture and sexuality… this work will be eye-opening for many.” ELOGHOSA OSUNDE, AUTHOR OF VAGABONDS!
