Where Are The african Women Rulers? / Reading Vlog & Book Talk

In this vlog, I talk about When We Ruled: The Rise and Fall of 12 African Queens and Warriors by Paola Akpan, a nonfiction book that completely reframed how I think about African history, power, and leadership. I reflect on why African women rulers are so often missing from history books, how colonial archives shaped what we’re taught, and why reclaiming these stories matters so much. This isn’t a spoiler-heavy review, but rather a conversation about history, memory, and the uncomfortable truths we sometimes avoid.
