???? I'm bent but NOT broken.
???? I'm shaken but NOT shattered.
???? I'm discouraged but NOT defeated.
?? As a Queen, I simply adjust my CROWN!
When I feel discouraged, I remember the blood of royalty and warrior-women pulses through my veins. I CAN'T be stopped!
?? The Dahomey Mino, are the basis for the Dora Milaje, from the Black Panther movie, which means they were real-life badass superheroes. They were an all-female military regiment from the Kingdom of Dahomey, located in what is today known as the Republic of Benin.
?? Nzinga Mbandi was born in the 17th century into the ruling royal family in Angola. She acted as ambassador to the Portuguese colonizers and later assumed power over the kingdom.
?? Amina was a legendary Hausa warrior-queen of Zazzau, in present-day Nigeria. During her 34-year reign, she expanded her territory, secured the trading passages through the Sahara, and introduced metal battle armor in the region.
? I started my subscription-based Black History & Culture Academy in collaboration with The EdUp Experience, to educate about the richness and beauty of Ancient African history and culture, with access to 20+ courses on:
?? African history and culture
??? African American history and culture
???????????? Diversity, equity & inclusion
My history is my strength. My ancestors give me courage. Their resistance is my legacy. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
