Queen Nzinga Book Club

The Queen Nzinga Book Club is a sisterhood of women walking in love, strength, and courage. We read page-turners that spark honest conversation, honor our lived experiences, and deepen our connection to self, culture, and community.


We meet monthly in-person and on Zoom in a positive, fun, and safe space where women can be fully themselves—unapologetically.


Interested in joining or seeing our current picks?

Ann Zingha, Queen Nzinga Mbande, a 17th-century African ruler of the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms.

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.
