“Wakanda is strong enough to help others and protect ourselves at the same time.” Bell Hooks argues that Black Women go beyond just resisting sexism and racism. They reinvent themselves through alternative texts that take control of how audiences look at them. It takes the gaze of Black women and contests and interrogates the vision of their embodiment on multiple levels.

Nakia (the external spy of Wakanda) is a character that does just that, not only taking apart the White saviour trope as a Black African woman saving her people but being beyond a romantic partner as someone who can actively think about her own pursuits. She is an intellectual who is aware of African’s colonial history and she is able to think about the security of her people, while thinking about Black people and people at large. Her story pursuits are not stagnant and neither is her story in Black Panther (2018) dir. Ryan Coogler

Rumba Morena

[latinexplains]

“I unfortunately don’t know her name. But what I do know…

She is a drummer/ dancer / performer with the all womxn Bata group called “Rumba Moreno” in Cuba 🇨🇺

AfroCuban Batá is an iconic symbol and sound of the Lucumí/Santería religion. Batá are talking drums that express the epic mythological narratives of the Orishas. (Orisha is the term used for West African Yoruba deities.) By imitating aspects of speech and song and by metaphorically referencing salient attributes of the deities, batá drummers facilitate the communal praising of an orisha in a music ritual known as a “toque de santo”.

Do you believe in astrology now mere mortal? Or will you continue to deny that these ever-changing gods suspended in nothingness influence all our fates?
