Join Seema Anand and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah for an illuminating exploration of how ancient cultural traditions, ancestral rites and myth can reshape our understanding of modern female sexuality, offering practical and fun insights into navigating sex and intimacy today.

Drawing on their books: Seeking Sexual Freedom by Nana Darkoa, and Speak Easy: A Field Guide to Love, Longing and Intimacy by Seema, they uncover how ancient South Asian and African knowledge and enduring cultural practices can challenge stigma and open up more expansive, authentic ways of thinking about women's bodies, pleasure and agency.

Expect a candid, thought-provoking and wide-ranging conversation that bridges past and present, inviting new perspectives on desire, connection and sexual self-knowledge.
