Fly, and find me the daughter of the Sun and the Moon 🌞🌛
I did my @africanancestry a few years back right after my return from Lagos. I thought for sure Nigeria would part of that equation. It turns out it was. But on my Maternal line not like I thought. I saw clones of my paternal family members all around Lagos. My paternal line was actually Mbundu from Angola. Shocker. . These Black History Flash Cards Vol. 2 from @urbanintellectuals came just in time for Women’s History Month. . Here is a one about a great queen from my Paternal Tribe of Mbundu people. . Queen Nzingha is a 17th century Queen of the Mbundu people of Angola. . Best remembered for her resistance against the Portuguese and setting her people free from slavery . I’ve always loved this story- In 1621, represented her kingdom in a meeting with the Portuguese, in which she had one of her male servants get down on his hands and knees to be her “seat” in response to the Portuguese only bringing one chair to the meeting to make her feel inferior. . #blacketyblack #blackonblackbk #blackskin #blacknose #blacklips #blackhair #blackeverything #blacklivesmatter #blackgirlmagic #blackmagic #wefight #weresist #wewillwin #outfittingtherevolution #deconstructtheconstruct #blaaaaacknificent #blackpower #blackpride #supportblackbusiness #supportblackart #portuguese #angola #queennzingha #slavery #free #mbundu #africanancestry (at Brooklyn, New York)

In the sixteenth century, the Portugese position in the slave trade was threatened by England and France. As a result, the Portugese shifted their slave-trading activities to the Congo and South West Afrika. Mistaking the title of the ruler (ngola) for the name of the country, the Portugese called the land of the Mbundu people Angola—the name by which it is still known today. Here, the Portugese encountered the brilliant and courageous Queen Nzinga, who was determined never to accept the Portugese conquest of her country. An exceptional stateswoman and military strategist, she harassed the Portugese until her death, at age eighty.

The Mbundu also known as Northern Mbundu or Ambundu are Bantu-speaking people living in Angola's North-West, North of the river Kwanza. They are distinct from the Southern Mbundu or Ovimbundu people. The Ambundu speak Kimbundu, and mostly also the official language of the country, Portuguese. They are the second biggest ethnic group in the country, with 2.4 million people in the latest count. The Ambundu nowadays live in the region stretching to the East from Angola's capital city of Luanda. They are predominant in the Bengo and Malanje provinces and in neighbouring parts of the Cuanza Norte and Cuanza Sul provinces. The head of the main Mbundu kingdom was called Ngola, which is the origin of the name of the country Angola.
By the late 1960s, the Mbundu living in the cities, such as Luanda and Malanje, had adopted attributes of Portuguese lifestyle . Many had intermarried with Portuguese, which led to the creation of an entirely new class of mestiços. Those who received formal education and fully adopted Portuguese customs became assimilados. The Mbundu were the MPLA's strongest supporters when the movement first formed in 1956. The MPLA's president, Agostinho Neto, was the son of a Mbundu Methodist pastor and a graduate of a Portuguese medical school. In the 1980s, the Mbundu were predominant in Luanda, Bengo, Cuanza Norte, Malanje, and northern Cuanza Sul provinces.
The American actor Chris Tucker discovered that his genealogical DNA test shows that he was of the Ambundu ethnic group on the PBS special African American Lives. Isaiah Washington, another American actor, has a genealogical DNA link to the Ambundu group through his paternal line.
Queen Nzinga of Ndongo (Angola)
Why she kicks ass:
Nzingha a Mbande (also known as Ana de Sousa Nzingha Mbande) was a 17th century queen (muchino a muhatu) of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms of the Mbundu people in southwestern Africa.
She has been called the “greatest military strategist that ever confronted the armed forces of Portugal.” Her military campaigns kept the Portuguese in Africa at bay for more than four decades.
Her objective was nothing less than the complete and total destruction of the African slave trade.
She sent ambassadors throughout West and Central Africa with the intent of enlisting a huge coalition of African armies to eject the Portuguese.
Queen Nzingha died fighting for her people in 1663 at the ripe old age of eighty-one. Africa has known no greater patriot.
Nzinga left an impression after making a fool of Portuguese Governor, Correa de Souza.
