As we celebrate Women’s History Month, there is not enough time and space to share the brilliant and storied legacies of African women (the true mothers of humanity and civilization) both on the continent and throughout the Diaspora.
Since the Great Maafa (a Swahili word describing the African holocaust), our Sisters have been under a triple whammy of racism, male chauvinism, misogyny, and scorn for centuries. It is time they received their just due as major contributors to the growth and evolution of humanity and civilization. More information is becoming known about the marvelous achievements of African Queen Mothers and Queens who ruled on the throne serving their people for thousands of years, but much more needs to be researched, discovered, and shared.
The fact of the matter is, everywhere we find African people, we discover examples of nurturing, feminine beauty, authority, and wisdom coupled with outstanding service and contributions to their people. Women were essential in the advancement of humanity and civilization all over the world. For example, little is known about the Blacks who ruled Hawaii. Yes, Africans ventured to, explored, and settled throughout the Pacific Islands.
