Ghanaian
female rapper Esbee has said it is good for adults to talk about sex in
public and even educate the young ones on the nitty-gritty of sex
without feeling shy.
The hot female rapper, who is the daughter
of music guru Alhaji Sidiku Buari, said it was disturbing, the way
Ghanaians shied away from discussing issues about sex or sex
organs although the subject is a crucial one that needs frequent
discussion.
She has therefore urged people, irrespective of their
gender or social standing, not to shy away from talking about sex or
sex organs.
Esbee, known in real life as Semera Buari, made the
comment ahead of her debut performance as an actress in the popular
and controversial stage play, Vagina Monologue.
Vagina Monologue,
written by Eve Ensler, delves into female experiences and serves as an
educative platform which touches on issues that are normally considered
important but a taboo to talk about.
The play was put together by
the Department of Theatre Arts, School of Performing Arts, over the
weekend at the Efua Sutherland Studio, University of Ghana, Legon.
According to the young rapper, she chose to be part of the play to encourage people to feel free when talking about sex.
“I am happy to be part of the play. It’s informative,” she said.
“There’s
too much undue politics surrounding issues relating to sex… This is
largely due to how we have been educated over the years. We should be
able to talk about sex freely,” she indicated.
It was Ebee’s
first role as an actress after studying Theatre Arts at the University
of Ghana. She has since joined the list of her family members who have
acted and pursued music careers at the same time.
