Woman King!!!

www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-angela-miller-80747429 Now, in my last episode, I mentioned that I was going to watch the movie, The Woman King and I did! The title was in keeping with my previous episodes about The Queen, Kings, Kingdoms, splendor, majesty, dominion, Authority, and Power.  To be very brief, the film was about a female army that protected a kingdom. To be a part of that army the women were not allowed to marry and have children. They were fierce and well-trained. They caused male armies to retreat, and they overcame the Europeans that invaded their territory and the local armies that helped them. They impacted the slave trade by also providing alternative produce like palm oil for trading. It is based on a true story that took place in Africa. The leader of the army was crowned a Woman King, not a queen. She didn’t marry the Male King. This to me is an interesting and important point about Identity. Was she a queen or was she actually a King? A female King. Just the same as a Male king.
