We are beyond proud to celebrate Do Not Disturb, a riotous new Audible Original created by Sherise Blackman. This 8-part audio series reflects our ability to discover fresh, ground-breaking stories by global majority women.
For fans of QUEENIE and SEX AND THE CITY, this riotous new Audible Original will have you laughing, crying and cringing in equal measure. Meet Sade, Saffron and Raquel: three bold, Black, thirty-somethings from South London, all on a quest for good sex.
Insatiable Sade can’t get enough, until a health issue puts her sex life on hold. Saffron thinks she’s finally found her dream man, but her toxic ex Devon isn’t letting go that easily. And Raquel? This lovestruck hippy seems to have it all figured out, except how to tell her step-mum that she’s gay.
MsMono was the original production company on this project, collaborating with Sherise, Story Producer Janet Awe, and co-producers Listen Audio (now part of Platform Media) to develop the pitch for Audible. Once greenlit, the series became a landmark moment for us, marking our entry into broadcast audio.
Do Not Disturb represents an exciting new chapter for MsMono as we continue our mission to champion bold, authentic voices of global-majority women across shorts, TV, and audio.
Available now, exclusively on Audible UK.
