Beings I draw strength from:

The drunk urge to tell off sexists on twitter (or X ig 🤮) can be solved by reading the lessons, stories, and lore of Lilith, Morrigan, Freyja, Medusa, Blenda, Arawelo, Medea, Hecate, Circe, and Despoina.

Drop down more please.

Thank you @lvccld for having me participate in this engaging event. . . For the theme of Mythology/Folklore, I wanted to share Ancient Queen Arawelo who I feel embodies the strong spirit of Somali women, if not in all of us. Queen Arawelo defied gender norms and encouraged women to take on masculine roles if they wanted to. I love how strong her spirit was and wanted to capture her being a strong woman who is capable of achieving anything by appropriately using her masculine and feminine energy. . . . Thank you @jeaniebeanmarie for taking pictures of me🤗💛📸 . . .

Queen Arawelo ruled what is now known as modern day Somalia, around 15 AD. Eldest born to a King who only had female daughter, she naturally succeeded him as heir. She was one of the original feminists and believed in empowering the women of her country.

Being a female queen was a rarity in those days. But she set out to prove that women could do a great job of ruling a kingdom just as well as men. In a time where Kings were making rash decisions to initiate wars, Queen Arawelo was nurturing her women to become strong and independent.

She strongly believed women should not rely on their husbands to be the sole breadwinners of the family. She also demanded that there must be no segregation in both women’s and men’s duties. This led her to actively encourage women to take up masculine roles and become providers for their families.

During her rule, Queen Arawelo had a disagreement with her husband, as he thought women should only focus on their domestic and child rearing duties. This angered her very much.

Her comeback was to command all women of the land to leave their womanly duties. This caused a role reversal where men were cooking and looking after the children whilst the women became the leaders and the providers.

In 15AD a queen named Arawelo ruled over the land known today as Somalia. Arawelo created a matriarchal society where women could be the breadwinners of their families. Any man that objected to her regime was hung by the testicles. Arawelo was badass.
