A very important book to read that shines a light in dark places. It was a collection of essays that honestly were hard to read at times due to the content. It was also healing to hear African women share their personal stories related to sex and how they dealt with trauma in their lives and overcame it or were still on their healing journey. This was thought provoking and insightful.

I loved it. I love the different stories, I like how none of the stories have a final ending, that these women's sex/romance/family lives are still ongoing. I like that the stories kinda show women from different economic backgrounds.

This book is a masterclass in “show, don’t tell.” I am very impressed with Sekyiamah’s ability to weave together many diverse stories while finding a common thread. As a white woman, I learned several things from this book. I am excited to dive into more of Sekyiamah’s writing.
