The Wine Cellar Edition: Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba


Listen Later

Ladies and concubines, we are back with another Wine Cellar Edition!
We’re talking about a badass, battle axe swinging, queen of our hearts and goddess of War: Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba. 
We discuss her upbringing and rise to power through some pretty harsh means... but at the end of the day, men suck and sometimes you need to be a badass to get shit done. 

In all seriousness, Nzinga left a lasting legacy, one of which the impacts are still felt today. 
Also, we discuss the upcoming STARZ adaption of her life, starring Yetide Badaki and 50 cent. Don’t fuck with a fearless woman who owns a battle axe.
