   Episode 49: Rogue Women Takeover I This Body Is an Archive with Valerie Asiimwe Amani

   Rogue Women Takeover In this series, we sit with African feminists, activists, and culture-makers to trace how women have learned about sex, sexuality, and their own bodies; from the wisdom of the Bana Chimbusa to the endless scroll of social media. Hosted by Ann Kay Holland, Rogue Women Takeover reclaims the stories, silences, and lessons that shape how African women understand pleasure, power, and bodily autonomy. About the episode How do women learn about sex, and how do those lessons change across generations? In this episode, Valerie Asiimwe Amani takes us beyond the idea that there is only one African way of teaching sexuality. Drawing from Tanzanian and broader African perspectives, we explore how women have passed down knowledge about intimacy, relationships, desire, and womanhood, and how those teachings continue to evolve alongside changing cultures, religions, and feminist movements. Together, we ask not only what we inherited, but what is worth carrying forward. Guest Bio Valerie Asiimwe Amani is a Tanzanian anti-disciplinary artist, writer, and doctoral researcher at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, and founder of Art Aunty. Her practice draws on feminist epistemologies, spiritual ecologies, and African cosmologies. Host Bio Ann Kay Holland is a Zambian feminist, human rights advocate, and feminist curator. She is Founder and Managing Director of Sistah Sistah Foundation and founder of Rogue Woman, a platform celebrating bold, unapologetic women driving social change.

   Episode 48: Rogue Women Takeover I The Body Is Political with Professor Awino Okech

   Rogue Women Takeover In this series, we sit with African feminists, activists, and culture-makers to trace how women have learned about sex, sexuality, and their own bodies; from the wisdom of the Bana Chimbusa to the endless scroll of social media. Hosted by Ann Kay Holland, Rogue Women Takeover reclaims the stories, silences, and lessons that shape how African women understand pleasure, power, and bodily autonomy. About the episode Sex did not become taboo by accident. Long before colonialism and missionary Christianity, many African communities had their own ways of teaching about the body, intimacy, pleasure, and relationships, with women often serving as the custodians of this knowledge. In this episode, we explore how those traditions were disrupted as colonial rule, religion, and patriarchy reshaped ideas of morality, respectability, and womanhood. Together, we unpack how silence around sex was produced, why it continues to shape our lives today, and what it means to reclaim sexual knowledge as an act of feminist resistance. This is a conversation about history, power, and the enduring politics of women's bodies. Guest Bio Awino Okech is a Kenyan feminist scholar, Professor of Feminist and Security Studies at SOAS, University of London, and founding director of the Feminist Centre for Racial Justice. Her research and teaching explore the intersections of gender, sexuality, conflict, and security. Host Bio Ann Kay Holland is a Zambian feminist, human rights advocate, and feminist curator. She is Founder and Managing Director of Sistah Sistah Foundation and founder of Rogue Woman, a platform celebrating bold, unapologetic women driving social change.
