Nana Yaa Asantoaa was a very brave woman. She saved the Ashanti kingdom if not the British would have conquer the kingdom. When the men were afraid, the Queen mother stood up, led the men and fought the British till they surrender. She was also smart, When the enemies wants to steal the Golden stool, she hid the original one and gave them imitation one (fake one) may her soul rest in perfect peace.
@@Angelmongn She represented the last Asante resistance to colonialism. Although she was captured and exiled, and Asante colonized, her resistance protected the Golden Stool and most of the Asante royal artifacts. Arguable, she is the reason why the Asante museum has original Asante artifacts/treasures and not the British or French museums.
why would you call the war of the golden stool a rebellion? The British were trying to break the Asante Kingdom by capturing the golden stool. Unfortunately they people gave them a fake one. Protecting what is yours is not a rebellion. The pronunciation of her name is A-S-A-N-T-E-W-A-A
In Uganda, African history is taught from fifth grade to highschool. There's so much awesomeness that am baffled by how we got so fucked by colonialism. Bse it's like from then on it just went downhill. Mansa Musa of Mali was the richest man in the Middle Ages! There's a time in African history that would look at this time and just weep.
It's only cuz our first scholars were instruments of the colonial materialism who were busy only diminishing our rich identity cuz they don't had one and sees no worth in ours but our minerals.. Likewise slavery was common among us but they endoulged themselves and killed our wirriors knoniving with our corrupt victims only to laugh at us and humiliate us till to-date..

Virginia Hamilton, one of the best African American authors ever, wrote many stories based on African folklore that would make wonderful bedtime stories. Check The People Could Fly and more. Also check out a book Show Way by Jacqueline Woodson another American author. I always read this to classrooms and it constantly amazes me how many children do not know their heritage. For instance what is a Show Way???
@ Wendell W. DeLoach Indeed! We can, however, start the 'dialog' that we didn't have growing up!! We can start by teaching our children about the beautiful, strong Black women in our families and continue with our communities, states, nation and finally, the motherland. Our people have a RICH history to share but it has to begin with us!!💯
Growing up in U.K to caribbean parents in 70s, the history of black people and their achievements was not taught. Not even books in the library. I believe these historical facts would have positive influence to all cultures. Oh well I was cheated but I promise my children have been enlightened.
I grew up in England, I didn't expect to be taught African history. I did my own research from 14 years old..in my 20s I found books in Wandsworth Library in London. There is remember buying book from a author named J A Rogers eh wrote history from the 1920s he covered most of these characters. He was a Jamaican man who moved to US. Plus he travelled for research in Europe.
hello there Most historians know they were not European, there was no such term during Dynastic period. Egyptian didn't see themselves as anything other than than name local to them. They had know concept of Africa as we do today. They were people of the Nile. Upper and Lower. Our concept of race is a modern phenomenon. Based on black and white .
PEACE FAMILY. GET THAT EDUCATION Dane Calloway and Kurimeo they have ALL THE BOOKS they hid and outlawed some 400 years old!!! Everyone should know we've been lied to
Happy that two great Nigerian Queens are mentioned here, Queen Idia of the great Benin kingdom (the greatest ancient civilization in Africa and the world) and Queen Amina of Zaria.
in 1990 I represented the Warrior and queen Yogojê, in 1991 I participated in a film where I represented Nandi San Xaka and in 1996 I danced in a play where three queens who lived in different times met. It was queen Isabel from Spain, Anakaonda from Cuba and Nzinga Mbande from Africa. I danced and represented Nzinga Mbandi. I am so proud and throughout my life as a dance choreographer I have danced and danced but nothing compared to representing such a cool woman like Nzinga Mbande, Yagojê and Nandi san Xaka. Only Saba droning is missing, but I'm now too old for that. But my memories and the terrific period still live when I had to study their lives to represent them as loyally as possible. Nzinga Mbande said his immortal words: "As long as I am queen, none one of my people shall be slaves". So said Yagojê queen also. and according to history, they kept their amazing word.Thank you so much for this youtube video. May God bless you. I love it and I will share it to my dancers.
Ngl African women are living legends. From the videos I have seen. All I can notice is how confident they are. I wish I can be that confident one day too. And stand up for myself
I remember being filled with wonder when I learnt about Queen Amina in school. I'm glad that my school gave me the chance to learn about these amazing women.
Yaa Asantewaa was very powerful, my grandparents told me her body was a bulletproof to the extent that, the British were shooting and she was chasing the British soldiers 😳😳
Yeah, the bullets shot at her was not penetrating because that time the smaller gods they worshiped will possesed most of them in the battle field. So they fought like gods. Which surprises the British because they underestimated the Ashanti's and because of that reason they burn down every shrine in Ashanti kingdom and the whole Ashanti Kingdom in 1884...
I oh so apreciated this video as a malagacy girl . our history isnt told much when it comes to Africa. But we did have glorious queens . i will forever cherish these queens .💞
All these women set a high standard for us as black women. We owe it to them and ourselves to be the best we can be, to also leave our mark in this world. I love our history💖👑👊
Indeed... I believe Angolans need to share more to the rest of the world about it's origins, culture, traditions etc. Here in the UK we are trying bring more awareness about Angolan and it's culture to those around us, many never even heard of Angola. Can you believe that?
@@MYFATHEREMMANUEL Same here it’s crazy! In the U.S it’s totally the same thing. It’s nice to come across people who are Angolan 🇦🇴. Are you from Angola? Or are you Angolan decent
@@MYFATHEREMMANUEL people always ask me, where you from. I tell them. They say to me. But you don’t look African. I just look 👀 at like whats that supposed to mean? Just nice to someone who embraces are culture like me. And who’s not in living in Angola your right. I try to do the same
That's natural of people to say, I guess some African countries including Angola have people with multicultural looks which is nothing wrong but above all be proud of your roots.
Kudos to the team ... In the south west of Nigeria... it's was outrightly forbidden for a woman to become a king but interesting, exception fought its way into history.... as a woman in the old oyo empire "ORONPOTO" by name became the first and only woman 'alafin' (king) till present time. You may need to look up this woman and serve us delicately. Also, another powerful woman highly respected among the yoruba people is MOREMI. Her's was a valiant story similar to that of queen pokou. She gave up her only son OLOROGBO to the river goddess in fulfilment of her covenant in Liu of victory for her people whom were constantly being menaced by some mysterious invader. This is also a legendary worth reviewing. Thanks
I am glad to share the beautiful name with Queen Amina. My father named me. I was amazed, as I learned more about her, to discover that we had some similar personality traits. “We” even have our own stamp (International Women’s Year 1975 my year of birth 🤗) and statue💜 Thank you so much for this beautiful video 💜💜💜
The hiding of our rich origin was no accident. It was done to keep us mentally, spiritually and physically enslaved. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.
Nandi is an example of single mothers who are judged and disrespected everyday for not having husbands to bow down to. But those women are the one who produced the majority of most educated and people on higher levels. It just shows that disciplined mothers, are the real disciplinarians. BIG UP 👸🤴🇿🇦mother💓 and son 🌍🎈
What a significantly poignant and powerful way to rightfully portray and express the immense stature, fortitude, resilience, and beauty of all our African Empresses who then would have been revered, but today often dismissed as irrelevant, I dare to submit. This, to me is also a great reminder that the narrative of gender in today's contemporary world is so far detached from our African identity and reality in told history. I suggest this only on the basis that it appears to me that this history has been stripped from our cognitive learning process through many factors including the institutionalized academic narratives of 'it' being taught on 'our' behalf. I would have been curious on your take on Mbuya Nehanda from Zimbabwe as well. However, from a learning perspective, gaining an insight and a brief glimpse into our Northern, Western and Eastern African Empresses from this channel has been an immensely enlighteningly rich experience. This has reminded me of my mother and my daughters. Thank you.
I just want to say thank you for this body of work, had to subscribe.

Interesting this proves how huge and complex Africa is with so much depth in history ... as a Southern African I have no resonate to any of these amazing women and yet our history of Southern African tribes we have so many women who where leaders and inspirators today... and Southern African tribes also had matrilineal tribes and leaders who did a lot has chiefs military and spirituality... we have a lot of work
Kimpa Vita Language Download PDF Watch Edit Learn more This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita, Kimpa Mvita or Tchimpa Vita (1684 - 2 July 1706), was a Kongo Empire prophet and leader of her own Christian movement, Antonianism, this movement taught that Jesus and other early Christian figures were from the Kongo Empire. The name "Dona" indicates that she was born into a family of high Kongolese nobility; she was later given the name "Beatriz" after the Catholic Saint. Her teaching grew out of the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church in Kongo, and caused her to upbraid the Catholic priests for not believing as she did. Dona Beatriz believed the teachings of St. Anthony and used this claim to attempt to restore the ideal of Kongo as a unified Christian Kingdom. Kimpa Vita is seen as an antislavery figure and is known as a prefigure to modern African democracy movements. While the role of Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita is widely overlooked, the years of her movement are some of the best documented in Kongo's history. Kimpa Vita
Thanks for these analysis.. This narrative's wouldn't have been completed without the mentioning of Queen idia of Great Benin kingdom... She was a warrior queen who made the iyoba crown at uselu... Her artifacts was used in decorating the festac ceremony in 1977 in Lagos....
All these wonderful, Beautiful , and Powerful Women of Africa, all of them Women Deserved Commendation before, during and even after their Reigns in This Great Continent of Africa. Bravo to you all. Thanks.
“Countrymen, it has come to my notice that many of you are losing confidence in me as a Queen mother, Let’s stand and prove to our enemies that they can’t spirit us” Yaa Asantewaa
It is wild to think of these women being alive today in our mothers today thru DNA and seeing some of the similarities that are due for healing as well as improvement most of all acceptance so that all of the processes can continue to heal improve as well as feel more at ease. I am grateful for this video. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing this. There is a Netflix movie on Amina of Zazzau. I hope more African filmmakers support disseminating the stories of these queens.
You share stories of some of my favorite sheroes and introduced me to some I had not previously heard of. Thank you. To the great woman inside all my sisters!
@@mohidinmohamed6368 because you people ALWAYS talk shit about us Black people and our brethren! Stop acting and begging us to include y’all when most the time YOU’RE the first to distance yourselves!
@@antoniacapellaborges6566 First of all he did not beg you or the creator of anything, He asked. Second of all we are diffrent than the rest of africa. And i Mean we as in the horn of africa. thirdly not everyone does what you claimed. some of us dont care what you are or were you are from as long as you are black.
Africa was Great, is Great and will continue to be Great. Black Women are Great , Beautiful and intelligent. Our brown skin is Gold!. I am so honoured and proud to be African .
This is what our little girls and boys need to hear about our cultures. Especially the girls of how we are warres, strong and powerful. That they can be whatever they want to be and, it starts with education. As black people, we have to work 10 times harder than a white man to get to where we are going in life.
Yes, I am grateful for this ! You know what I'm even more grateful for at this moment . The common dominator of the great Dr Martin Luther Kong's belief of forgiveness and Not Waging War With War because it has never taken man up to another level he can truly be proud of. Anyone can kill or beat one another down with words but try lifting a person up just for the sake of being a great person yourself ! The rewards are amazing and feel great !
I was also shocked to find an old book of native kenyan masai herbs .brought to europe n given latin names of modern medicine . African history is very rich but sadly there are no books written .
Loving this one thank's for sharing very important information giving blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Though the Iye Ẹsigie of the accient benin kingdom in Nigeria wasn't a queen but i think she deserves being mentioned in this video........ The Iye Ẹsigie was one of the greatest females conquerors in the history of Africa that's why her head known as the FESTAC sign is still one of the most popular and famous simboles of Africa heritage till today.
Queen lden was full of love that she stool behind her husband when the Oba was reject by the benin. She later sacrifice her life for her husband so that the kingdom can be restored back to her husband. I think she need to be celebrated also.
The mother of a king 👑 is a Queen,,nor be queen she be before she born king?..I respect queen iden also.. Benins would never forget these two queens..oba ghator kpereee isee

I love hearing stories about Africa. I'm still wondering why these aren't in a real school books
There's a clear reason why these aren't taught in real school
In Uganda, African history is taught from fifth grade to highschool. There's so much awesomeness that am baffled by how we got so fucked by colonialism. Bse it's like from then on it just went downhill. Mansa Musa of Mali was the richest man in the Middle Ages! There's a time in African history that would look at this time and just weep.
What does that mean? These stories are in books, just not white ones. Why would you expect your oppressor to educate you.
It's only cuz our first scholars were instruments of the colonial materialism who were busy only diminishing our rich identity cuz they don't had one and sees no worth in ours but our minerals.. Likewise slavery was common among us but they endoulged themselves and killed our wirriors knoniving with our corrupt victims only to laugh at us and humiliate us till to-date..

Interesting this proves how huge and complex Africa is with so much depth in history ... as a Southern African I have no resonate to any of these amazing women and yet our history of Southern African tribes we have so many women who where leaders and inspirators today... and Southern African tribes also had matrilineal tribes and leaders who did a lot has chiefs military and spirituality... we have a lot of work
This was excellent. Thank you☀️
You're welcome.

Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita, Kimpa Mvita or Tchimpa Vita (1684 - 2 July 1706), was a Kongo Empire prophet and leader of her own Christian movement, Antonianism, this movement taught that Jesus and other early Christian figures were from the Kongo Empire. The name "Dona" indicates that she was born into a family of high Kongolese nobility; she was later given the name "Beatriz" after the Catholic Saint. Her teaching grew out of the traditions of the Roman Catholic Church in Kongo, and caused her to upbraid the Catholic priests for not believing as she did. Dona Beatriz believed the teachings of St. Anthony and used this claim to attempt to restore the ideal of Kongo as a unified Christian Kingdom. Kimpa Vita is seen as an antislavery figure and is known as a prefigure to modern African democracy movements. While the role of Dona Beatriz Kimpa Vita is widely overlooked, the years of her movement are some of the best documented in Kongo's history.

Good but you have omitted queen Wangu Makeri from mt. Kenya region.she sat on men as she addressed her subjects.
How do we as African translates this to our children through books
Suggest RUclips videos for them or African history books
This is needed
That would be awesome
We need to unite as creatives, the resource is there we must illustrate it and write books about it. Novels etc.
Talk to the children,do the research,we learn and teach the
Great video. I was expecting to see Queen Kambasa.
Wow. Nice one. Will make further research on her. Thanks.
You're welcome. We learn all the time for continuous improvement. Kudos!
You forgot Queen Araweelo she rules the corner of Africa “ Somalia” she was the first Queen I think🇸🇴
They always forget somali history
Thank you I’ll do my research
@@mohidinmohamed6368 because you people ALWAYS talk shit about us Black people and our brethren! Stop acting and begging us to include y’all when most the time YOU’RE the first to distance yourselves!
@@antoniacapellaborges6566 First of all he did not beg you or the creator of anything, He asked. Second of all we are diffrent than the rest of africa. And i Mean we as in the horn of africa. thirdly not everyone does what you claimed. some of us dont care what you are or were you are from as long as you are black.
Truly grateful for this body of work...and love how more of our queens are being brought to light in the comments ✊🏾💜✊🏾

Wow am impressed, never known such history of queen yargoji of present day zamfara state. am from zamfara state ,northen nigeria.
It's not real
@@ugandahater you are a pity
This is what our little girls and boys need to hear about our cultures. Especially the girls of how we are warres, strong and powerful. That they can be whatever they want to be and, it starts with education. As black people, we have to work 10 times harder than a white man to get to where we are going in life.
Thank you for the knowledge. 😇
Who else liked this video before it really started
So glad for these videos. We have MUST teach our children.
I’m a black woman. I love beautiful black queens that are real and authentic. Praise to all of the amazing women in the world. Thank God for us.
Thank you for teaching me History !
Yes, I am grateful for this ! You know what I'm even more grateful for at this moment . The common dominator of the great Dr Martin Luther Kong's belief of forgiveness and Not Waging War With War because it has never taken man up to another level he can truly be proud of. Anyone can kill or beat one another down with words but try lifting a person up just for the sake of being a great person yourself ! The rewards are amazing and feel great !
I was also shocked to find an old book of native kenyan masai herbs .brought to europe n given latin names of modern medicine . African history is very rich but sadly there are no books written .
I was amazed of the histories of our Black women. This history should have been taught to us. I will share this with my grandchildren. Great job!
Loving this one thank's for sharing very important information giving blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
Thank you.
Great list, I love Amina’s story.
Queen amina of zazzau and queen yar Goje of zamfara. Strong and brave woman. Proud to be hausa 🇳🇬
Respect to all the queen and princess of Africa 🌍❤
Thank you for sharing one of my history Queen Saba (Makida ) Ethiopia 🇪🇹
I had She died in Nigeria, she went to visit king Solomon
Though the Iye Ẹsigie of the accient benin kingdom in Nigeria wasn't a queen but i think she deserves being mentioned in this video........ The Iye Ẹsigie was one of the greatest females conquerors in the history of Africa that's why her head known as the FESTAC sign is still one of the most popular and famous simboles of Africa heritage till today.
Idia fought many wars and she deserves to be mentioned, but Iden lay down her life for the love she had for husband, the King and for the city.
Queen lden was full of love that she stool behind her husband when the Oba was reject by the benin. She later sacrifice her life for her husband so that the kingdom can be restored back to her husband. I think she need to be celebrated also.
The mother of a king 👑 is a Queen,,nor be queen she be before she born king?..I respect queen iden also.. Benins would never forget these two queens..oba ghator kpereee isee
Queen Iden and Queen Idia stands tall in Benin history
Yaaa Asantewaaa❤️
I love learning about our history & all of queens and kings in Africa. We need to teach the children ❤️🕊
