Queen Nzinga | Njinga of Ndongo: Central Africa's FEARLESS Warrior Queen Kwabena Ofori Osei 31 Views • 1 year ago

Queen Njinga Ana de Sousa Mbande (also spelled Nzinga, Nzingha, Ginga, and probably some other ways) was a 17th century ruler of the Kingdoms of Ndongo and Matamba, in what is now Angola. Fighting on the battlefield alongside her troops, and adapting to a variety of lifestyles from Mbundu to Imbangala to Christian, she displayed constant resilience in the face of Portuguese colonialism in West Central Africa, and earned herself a reputation as an Amazonian queen and the most formidable opponent the Portuguese had ever faced in Africa. This is her story.I apologize to any Kimbundu speakers who watch this video for my inevitable butchering of your language. If you'd like to help correct my pronunciation in any future videos I make on Njinga or Ndongo, please hit me up!No generative AI was used in any part of the creation of this video.This video is part of Untold Black History II, a collaboration of YouTubers talking about uplifting Black history from around the world.

The symbol behind it is an Nsibidi symbol from the region of what is now southeastern Nigeria, and represents wealth, or in this case a wealth of knowledge. The colors of the symbol in the background are based on the common Pan-African tricolor flag, red, black, and green, while the Sankofa symbol is yellow to represent an alternative set of Pan-Africanist colors that includes yellow instead of black, based on the Ethiopian flag. All four of these colors are commonly used in Pan-Africanist flags and designs.Happy Black History Month y'all :DFootnotes:1. Heywood 2017, 57-60; Thornton and Lee 2011, 1832.

The Psychosis of Whiteness, Black Power & the Global Struggle for Justice | Kehinde Andrews on The Tea with Myriam Francois.

Is the world trapped in a dangerous delusion? In this uncompromising conversation, Professor Kehinde Andrews breaks down the “psychosis of whiteness”, exposing how deep-seated myths about race sustain global inequality. From the failures of diversity schemes to the rise of far-right politics, from Trump’s return to power to the new wave of Black radical thought, he argues that true change won’t come from within the system—it demands revolution.

What does Black liberation look like in a world still shaped by empire? Can Pan-Africanism offer a real path forward? And is China a counterforce to Western dominance—or just another empire in disguise?

Join Myriam Francois for a fearless discussion that connects race, politics, and global power in ways few dare to.
