An agate slab and an antique key are set off by subtle silver wire-wrapping. The chain is sterling, the beads are Ghanan and cast in brass. The toggle is brass, too, but not as cool.

Teke Foliwa: Why she kicks ass

At 42, she was recently crowned the "Queen Mother" of Have, Ghana.

Her first act was to form women's groups for microcredit, agriculture production and education reform.

Initially, there was concern that she was gaining power too quickly, but the community became impressed with the progress being made by the women.

 "Women are expected to be submissive to the men. Traditionally, a queen is just a figurehead; she dresses up for festivals and serves as a role model to teach women to be beautiful, quiet, and demure. After my training with CARE, I realized that I could serve as a different kind of inspiration for the women here."

"This has moved us forward towards becoming a true community... It's not just the men and the women, but all of us moving forward together in a much more uniform way."

(76# Ghana) King Peggielene Bartels: Why she kicks ass

“To be a king in an African village or some places like this, it’s not like European queens where everything is on a silver platter for them … I have to really work hard to help my people. I have to give myself to people to better their lives..”

She is currently the King of Otuam, Ghana and one of only three female kings in Ghana. She has maintained her work in Ghana’s embassy in Washington, D.C. while making education affordable in Otuam, installing borehead wells to produce clean drinking water, enforcing incarceration laws to deal with domestic violence, providing the village with its first ambulance, replenishing the royal coffers by taxing Otuam’s fishing industry to improve life in the village, and appointing three women to her council.

When she encountered corruption and the threat of embezzlement to the royal funds, she declared “I’m going to squeeze their balls so hard their eyes pop!”

For 11 months out of the year she’s regular Peggy, secretary for the Ghanian Ambassador.  She works, keeps in touch with her advisors via phone every night, saves her money and accumulates her vacation time into one month-long period- where she then takes off to Ghana to fulfill her duties in-person.

When she discovered that male chauvinists wanted her to only be a figurehead, she said: “They were treating me like I am a second-class citizen because I am a woman. I said, ‘Hell no, you’re not going to do this to a woman!’”

King Penny's tale has been documented in a book written by her and author Eleanor Herman and is to be made into a film after Hollywood star Will Smith bought the rights to the book.

Lagaan is probably one of the most emotional films I have ever watched, and I only understood it through subtitles. But the power of something small just gets to you. "Mitwa" is my favourite song: the dancing, lyrics, all of it is amazing. The other one I really liked is "Ghanan ghanan". The imagery found in the lyrics was so poetic, and only added value for me as someone who seriously obsesses over poetry. I'm currently writing a paper about power structures in Lagaan and I can't stop watching these songs and clips on Youtube.
