Very educative, my students have enjoyed listening to it.
We are happy to hear that you are sharing with your students!
Continue to pour into your students. Teach them confidence in one's self as well as in each other for we are one. And lastly don't forget to remind them why things are how they are and what led up to it and "who" either started it, continues it, or pours into the things that continue suffering in our beautiful country

Where is the part where she lost her power? 🤨

A well told story but the story itself is not true. Wangu lost her rulling power after her husband made her pregnant and then threw her out of the chiefdom when she was at her weakest…. At least that’s what my grams told me.
Thanks actually that's the most popular tale told to us when growing up. There are different versions told of how she fell from leadership including the one we have shared which is documented in the Kenya archives but regardless we celebrate her as a sturdy leader who commanded the respect of her villagers.
@@shujaastories Your response is just as professional as the story itself. Keep up the good job.
My grandmother told me when her clothes fell off, that's was when she lost people' respect, and she last her chieftain
Wangu's muthuru was messed up
This story is not true. Wangu was a colonial administrator/collaborator.
Yes you are right, she worked for the colonial government which is seen in this story where she collected hut tax. She is however recognized as the first woman to be chief in the Kikuyu community.
