ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the different platforms that seek to expand the cognitive framework around sex and sexuality on the continent, fostering the possibility of different ways of seeing oneself as a sexual being. By utilizing podcasts, blogs, workshops, short stories, and various social media platforms these spaces are challenging the way the monolithic view of sexuality on the continent and taking it back to a more nuanced state. The women spent a part of their holiday talking about sex and it felt to Sekyiamah that this was the first time in her life she participated in open, frank, and non-judgmental conversations about sexuality. The creation of initiatives that provide a conversational framework within which one can speak about sex in Africa while learning and growing healthy relationships is important in a world that is both hyper sexualized and strangely conservative. The effect of Christianity and Islam on sexual knowledge and practices bolsters that of colonization.
