Ma’at Hotep, family! This short documentary reveals the untold story of the Afrikan women who fought side-by-side with other Afrikan freedom fighters such as Jomo Kenyatta, Samora Machel,, Nelson Mandela and Amilcar Cabral. Unfortunately these fierce warriors did not receive the recognition and praise that they deserve, but I now salute them……..ABIBIFAHODIE!

The aim of this study is to present historical sources that provide Afrikan-centered perspectives on what Israel was in relationship to kmtyw ‘Black people/Ancient Egyptians.” This study draws from ancient and classical historical texts that 1) identify the expulsion of the Hyksos with the Exodus story and 2) document the manner in which that expulsion took place. We find that there are significant differences in narratives regarding the nature of the Exodus/Expulsion, however, many people are only familiar with a single biblical story. In conclusion, as students and as scholars, it behooves us to research into primary historical sources to transcend the danger of a single story.
