It's time we knew her name.
That isn't to say that it can be casually consumed with one eye on the television screen whilst the other scrolls up and down the phone. No. It commands your attention with its presence and authoritative air. It's as though the series is channelling Queen Njinga herself. Watch me and be educated. Watch me and be enthralled.Love for and commitment to her people and the dedication to bring them the peace and safety every human is deserving of, no matter the cost.
Becoming aware of Njinga's struggle to bring to fruition the vision of peace she had for her nation, only for it to be eradicated after her death, left me bitter. Me a Black woman living in present times with these events having played out long ago, but it does. For so many reasons it does. In order to secure the backing of the Pope, Njinga needed proof of conversion for her and all of Ndongo. Not only was she forced to publicly forgo her cultural beliefs in favour of Christianity, she had to do the same for her nation.
Our true roots, our origins have been lost. Or more aptly stolen from us in exchange for inhuman violence, backbreaking labour and separated families.
