Media work
Simply Oloni blog
Olonisakin started the blog Simply Oloni in 2008. She wrote her first blog posts at the age of 18, in response to a sermon that opposed abortion.[5][2] She said:
Originally, she simply wrote about her and her friends' dating lives. When she started responding to her readers on her blog, that "was practically the birth of [her] platform".[1] Her readers' questions are anonymous. Some of her answers are short, while others are turned into full articles. Simply Oloni addresses a variety of topics, including sexual consent, dating, STIs, abortion, sexual assault, and female orgasms. The blog is sex-positive.[2][5][6]
Olonisakin aimed to fill a gap in the sex and relationship advice market on Black women's sexuality. She said: "I felt the culture of dating and hook-up culture for a black woman and a white woman were different. Black women were being quiet about sex but it didn't mean we weren’t having it."[5] She has spoken about racism in the UK sex industry.[2]
Other work
Oloni has a Twitter account. She encourages women to share their experiences, starting with the catchphrase "Ladies".[2] She runs the podcast Laid Bare, where she and two other Black women, Shakira Scott and Shani Jamilah,[2] talk about their own sexual encounters, advise their listeners, and discuss current events. They encourage women to enjoy sex. The listeners are mostly women of color.[7] Oloni gives relationship advice on the BBC Three show My Mate's a Bad Date.[8] The show focuses on helping bad daters improve.[2]
Oloni has given sex education workshops in secondary schools with a focus on consent.[3][5]
