A funny and frank discussion about sex and dating in Africa. 

“Where there is danger, I love it,” Queer activist and writer Solange Kibibi says. “Because sex is more interesting where it’s risky.”

Director Kwame Asiedu who has recently moved to Accra from London feels ‘the love that I'm receiving from everybody here is definitely elevating my spirit.’ So why does he still find dating challenging? 

“If you're looking for that version of sex, sexuality, relationship traditionalness, I think it's a scary place to be right now,” says journalist and entrepreneur Vickie Remoe, as she explains why she thinks her dating life is full of twentysomethings. 

They unpack all that, more, and some share some spicy sexy secrets.

If you Google, ‘African film’ and ‘sex,’ you largely find articles about sexual violence. But, why are our lives being portrayed this way?  

Enter Kenyan filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu. It’s her ‘life mission’ to show African sexuality on film, as she does in ‘Rafiki,’ a beautiful lesbian love story that is banned in her home country. 

“In every project, I truly try to figure out what does it mean to show tenderness and love? What does it mean to show sensuality for us?”

In a wide-ranging chat about creativity, tradition, patriarchy and pleasure, Wanuri also shares the hot African film moment that set her on this path, and why it matters.
