The Dahomey Amazons were a all-front female military regiment of the Kingdom of Dahomey Benin Africa. They were know for their fearless attributes, amazing sword and spear skills. Wakanda got their inspiration from these fearless women. Fearlessly beautiful.

Know your truth
𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺 was a man who refused to beat black women.
𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺 was a man who refused to tell on other slaves.
𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺 was a man who would put cotton in other slaves’ bags at night, so that they wouldn’t get beat!
𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺 was a man who helped 100 slaves get free long before the underground railroad.
𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺 was a man, that once free, established the 1st Laborers school for other fugitive slaves!
𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲? 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻!
#𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗵𝗛𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻 was an author, abolitionist, and minister. Born into slavery, in Port Tobacco, Charles County, Maryland, he escaped to Upper Canada in 1830, and founded a settlement and laborer’s school for other fugitive slaves at Dawn, near Dresden, in Kent County, Upper Canada, of British Canada.
So stop calling these sell-outs Uncle tom! That’s a compliment! Its Sambo that was the sell-out, who would do anything for his slave masters’ approval!

The Dogon are an ethnic group indigenous to the central plateau region of Mali [emoji1159] in West Africa, south of the Niger bend, near the city of Bandiagara, and in Burkina Faso [emoji1059] The population numbers between 400,000 and 800,000.
While some villages have adopted Islam or Christianity, a large percentage of Dogon are animists who believe in the importance of a synergy between the spiritual world of gods and ancestors, and the living world of plants, people, and animals.
The Dogon's speak the Dogon language , these languages are spoken in the East of Mali, on the Dogon Plateau. There might also be some speakers on the other side of the border, in Burkina Faso.
Their main crop is millet, planted at the start of the rainy season. Other crops include rice, beans, peas, peanuts, and sesame.

Near the Southern tips of [emoji1029] Angola, reside the Mbalantu tribes of [emoji1176] Namibia. Mbalantu women are known for their headdresses. At the age of twelve, young girls in Mbalantu tribes begin preparing their hair.
Girls are made to, first of all, coat their hair in a thick paste made from finely ground tree bark of the omutyuula tree mixed with fat.
The young girls will live with this thick mixture on their scalp for years before it is subsequently loosened to make the hair visible. Fruit pips of the bird plum are then attached to the ends of the hair with sinew strings.
At the age of 16, long sinew strands that reach the ground are attached to the hair of these girls.
They also go through the Ohango Initiation (a ceremony that gets them accepted as women) in the same year but before this, the hair of the girls is styled into four long, thick braids, known as eembuvi. Now seen as women, their hair goes through another change. A new layer of the tree bark and oil mixture is applied to the hair to ensure further growth.
The long plaits are subsequently arranged into a headdress, which is to show that a woman was married.
Historical records indicate that this headdress was so heavy to the extent that the “upper ends were often attached to a piece of rope or skin, which was fastened around the forehead in order to distribute the load more evenly.”
A woman had to wear this style for several years after marriage but should change it to mirror a new status, such as the birth of a child.
These unique Eembuvi braids re-emerged in the 90’s as Box Braids and have since become an inspiration for many people across the world, even though they are not as long and thick as the Mbalantus.
Shuri's look in Black Panther was inspired by the Mbalantu hairstyle.

She sacrificed love and he came back and married five more wives...Nigerian love.
When World War II broke out David Oguntoye hid in a ship and travelled to Britain to volunteer for the Royal Air Force.
He arrived in Britain in June 1942,and was selected to train as a navigator in Canada for four years. Unfortunately the time he was returning to Britain in 1946, the war had already ended, which meant couldn't be deployed on the battlefield.
Instead he was posted to Bicester Oxford as a welfare officer for the Caribbean airmen stationed there. In June of the same year a young beautiful white lady called Dulcie King , also serving in the Royal Air Force , was posted to the same station to serve as an education instructor.
The two fell in love and began courting something that shocked the military. Interracial marriages were really resented in Britain, and to make it worse this was happening in the military. Her commanding officer summoned her and warned her about going out with a Black person.
Most of the officers disliked the fact that Dulcie had chosen a black boyfriend. Furthemore it was Ministry of Defence's policy that interracial relationships should nor be allowed to thrive in the military. They even transferred her to another station in an attempt to break the relationship, but the love was too strong.
On one occasion a group of airmen tried to attack David, but Dulcie intervened to protect him. The couple who were now both holding the rank of Flight Sergeant, continued to be seen together, and in October 1946 they attended a dance at Royal Air Force Bicester.
To rub salt in the wound , for the first time they decided to hold each other in public as other airmen watched. “He sat on the arm of my chair with his arm ostentatiously around me. This, of course, was something we never normally did in public, but we intended to demonstrate unmistakably our relationship,” Dulcie recalled.
One month later the two decided to leave the Royal Air Force and got married immediately on 16 November 1946 despite the opposition from her parents. They both trained as lawyers in London before leaving for Nigeria in 1954 where they settled permanently. Because he was considered a chief by his tribe Flight Sergeant David went on to marry five other wives , however, this did not in anyway affect their relationship. She was contented with being the first wife.
They went on to start a law firm together and in 1960, she denounced her British citizenship. In 1964, David Oguntoye was selected as a Court President while Dulcie Oguntoye became first a Magistrate and, in 1976, a High Court Judge. She was the first woman on the Lagos State bench and the second female judge in Nigeria after Modupe Omo-Eboh.
When David died in June 1997, she took charge as a ‘benevolent matriarch’ to her late husband’s family until her death in 2018.

Unajua kwamba Queen Elizabeth Il alishirikia moja kwa moja kwenye ukoloni wa nchi za kiafrika na kusapoti utumwa wa watu weusi
Queen Elizabeth alizima mbio za mapinduzi ya Mau Mau Kenya na kuwateka au kuwacapture waliojaribu kuziendeleza hizi mbio 1960
Queen Elizabeth alikua anamiliki kofia ya dhahabu yenye thamani kushinda kofia yoyote duniani Ina thamani ya million 400 inakaribia trillion moja ya kitanzania ambayo hiyo dhahabu aliiba South Africa akazingizia amepewa Kama zawadi naniahara ya upendo wakati hiyo dhahabu iliibwa wakati wa ukoloni.
Alikua anamsapoti mwanake kwenye matukio ya kishenzi aliyokua anawafanyia watoto wadogo
Alitengeneza njaa India na baadhi ya nchi za Afrika ili wauze chakula
Serikalini dhalimu ya Afrika kusini mpaka leo watu weupe wanamiliki ardhi yote kule Ni kwasababu yake yeye na mipango waliyopanga kuwatawala watu weusi wakishawapa Uhuru feki
Ubaya wa yote hayo hakuna alichoomba msamaha hata kimoja na alikua anajihisi ufahari kabisa kukanyaga Mai alizoiba na kufanya machafu sioni haja ya kumpa RIP shetani Kama huyu mi nashukuru kufa huyu ibilisi
