Are You Really Bi-Sexual? And Other Sexually Invasive Questions with Aida

In this episode, Aida, a Kenyan photographer and eco-feminist, talks about sexuality, body image, and the complexities of desire and pleasure. She brings up the African experience of growing up in a culture where public commentary on bodies is the norm, and the deep-seated shame and performance anxiety that often accompany sex, especially for fat women.Aida shares her personal journey of discovering her bisexuality as a teenager in Uganda, which came with its own complexities due to the homophobic environment. Like many others, she also faces the stereotypical frustration of men hypersexualising her identity while lesbians question her sexuality.During this conversation, she also highlights harmful cultural practices such as FGM and labia elongation, connecting the dots between African cultural rituals and the systematic erasure of female pleasure.Please help us reach more women discovering their sexuality, healing from sexual trauma, and learning to love their bodies beyond society's beauty standards.
