Growth:
“people have no idea about the reality of African women’s experiences when it comes to sex and sexuality. I feel like people always think of African women as repressed or constantly pregnant or they don’t have sanitary towels or they’ve been cut [genitally mutilated]. I was learning about the breadth of our experiences through the blog, and so I thought: ‘I want to write a book about the experiences of African women.’” – Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, author of Sex Lives of African Women
