Queen Nzinga Book Club
The Queen Nzinga Book Club is a small sisterhood of black women who walk in love, strength, and courage. We enjoy reading page-turners that highlight real topics and challenge real dialogue. We strive to create a positive, fun, and safe space where women can be themselves, unapologetically. We meet every other Monday from 6-7:30 pm via Zoom.
If you are interested in joining the Queen Nzinga Book Club and want to know more about our book collection, contact Tiffany Williams at Sankofa2030@gmail.com.
Who was Queen Nzinga?
One of the great women rulers of Africa, Queen Anna Nzinga (circa 1581-1663) of Angola fought against the slave trade and European influence in the seventeenth century. Known for being an astute diplomat and visionary military leader, she resisted Portuguese invasion and slave raids for 30 years. A skilled negotiator, she allied herself with the Dutch and pitted them against the Portuguese in an effort to wrest free of Portuguese domination. She fought for a free Angola until her death at age 82, after which weak rulers left the country open for the Portuguese to regain control.
