Adventures from the Bedrooms of African Women began as a popular blog for African women to speak openly about their sex lives. The podcast, hosted by Ghanaian founders Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah and Malaka Grant, carries on in this tradition, exploring African women’s experiences of sex, sexuality and pleasure.

Meet Malaka Grant and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah: friends since 1994, sex bloggers since 2009, now podcasters, and always #BFFFL.
In this new series, Nana Darkoa and Malaka welcome you into their bedrooms, and the bedrooms of African women where they uncover and discuss all things sex, sexuality, and pleasure.
They kick off and celebrate their friendship, expose how little they used to know about sex, and share their excitement for the conversations to come. In one episode, writer, poet, and producer, Nii Ayikwei Parkes describes sex as “that is how adults play,” which Nana Darkoa loves. “It’s soft and secure, so if you fall, you don't hurt yourself.”
And as self-confessed aunties, they both look forward to what’s to come in the boudoir. “It's so important for us to do this, because right now the conversation is still like, ‘Oh, in your 30s, it'll be over for you,’ Malaka explains. “In your 30s is when life truly begins as a woman.”
