“Pleasure is critical.” Zimbabwean master of all trades, Tapiwa Guzha, tells us.  In this episode, Malaka and Nana Darkoa ask you to slow down the pace and catch your breath as Tapiwa and Namibian artist and tantric coach Nakashwa Julia ya Hango talk us through how to curate and celebrate a session of self-pleasure. “When I'm finding myself in that place of, ‘I'm feeling really emotional or angry,’ then I love to set up a little space for myself to channel this energy,”  Julia explains. “I think pleasure is such a healing pathway.” Malaka Grant and Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah host the Adventures From the Bedrooms of African Women Podcast.
