‘She Dares To Say’ is an independent writing and audio project by Almaz Ohene exploring sexuality, intimacy, and cultural memory through essays, interviews, and experimental storytelling. It currently has an audience of approx. 900 subscribers.
‘She Dares To Say’ began in 2021 and has grown into a well-regarded archive of essays, interviews and transcripts that centre sexual honesty, marginalised voices and relational nuance. With Almaz’s signature blend of openness, rigour and care, the platform continues to challenge the cultural stigma around intimacy and invites the community into the conversation.
Season 4 (September 2025 – Present) features the following content strands published each calendar month:
- ‘It Stuck With Me’ – poignant, tightly drawn vignettes that capture the moments that linger. These reflective pieces revisit episodes – small, strange or life-shaping – that remain etched in memory, unpacking why they’ve stayed with me.
- ‘Considering My Crushes’ – a returning favourite: these essays dive into crushes on celebrities, fictional characters and public figures, weaving cultural critique with personal longing. A space where obsession, admiration, and projection are all welcome. Featuring guest essays by writers from Almaz’s creative community.
- ‘Relationship Status: Unfiltered’ – a bold, yet gentle interview series speaking to people across the spectrum of romantic and sexual experience, from high school sweethearts and solo polyamorists, to swingers, co-parents, serial monogamists and asexual folk. Each conversation follows the same of questions, revealing what people really think about love, commitment, dating and desire; from the inside of these relationships themselves.
Season 3 (October 2023 – February 2025) introduced a rotating schedule of bold, intimate content:
- ‘Pleasure Principles with Almaz Ohene’ – Almaz’s monthly column for Female Health & Fertility magazine, republished in full for ‘She Dares To Say’readers.
- ‘Sexuality survey interviews’ – candid, verbatim conversations where members of the public share personal reflections on sex, with anonymised audio recordings available exclusively for paid subscribers.
- ‘Considering My Crushes’ – personal and guest essays on the allure of celebrity, fictional, and public figures, paired with visual storytelling. Guest writers include: Award-winning authors Justin Myers, Peter Apps and Karla Marie Sweet.
- ‘What The Notches Said’ – quick-fire interviews with people from Almaz’s sexual past, revisiting old encounters to explore how lives and perspectives evolve over time.
