  1. EPISODE 1

    Ladies, Shall We Have Some Fun?

    Following a sold out live show in London, Malaka and Nana Darkoa kick off the season with one of their star guests, British-Nigerian sexpert Oloni. Her book ‘The Big O’ should really be given to everyone over the age of consent!  Oloni might be famous for her raunchy Twitter chats, but she is also dedicated to seriously educating people about sex.  “Society has told us that sex is something that's done to us,” Oloni explains. “That's just simply not really true, and I would definitely encourage women to try and find their voices.” In this conversation, she questions the lack of research into female sexuality, explains how to feel comfortable enough to demand better sex, brands Black-British culture the ‘kings of situationships,’ and shares how her partners feel about her work.

    The ‘Problem’ With Obioma Ugoala’s Normal Penis

    Irish-Nigerian author, singer and actor Obioma Ugoala has experienced fetishization and prejudice playing Shakespearean nobility and musical generals on London’s stage. He discusses the promise and pain of Black masculinity and sexuality in his book ‘The Problem with my Normal Penis.’ The paperback version was released with the new title, ‘The Making of a Man (and why we're so afraid to talk about it.) Inspired to write it after a fellow actor said to him, “Black men just have higher sex drives than white men,” Obi was initially angry at his friend for not recognizing the damaging trope of hyper-sexualized Black men. “There was also this deep pity of how he had been taught, and how I had been taught to be a Black man,” he says, hoping the book will help his children “grow up in a world where they're doing things differently.” The Adventures From the Bedrooms of African Women Podcast is a production of AQ Studios in partnership with Masi Media.
