Queen Nzinga: Angola's Protector
Queen Nzinga was one of the greatest female rulers of the continent, ruling over the Kingdoms of Ndongo and Matamba (modern day Angola). She was made famous by fighting against the slave trade and European influence. In this episode, we're taking it back to pre-colonial times and discuss how Queen Nzinga fought off Portuguese invasions and slave raids for more than 30 years. Apologies for the sound quality - we're currently recording from home!
