What does it mean to resist when the whole world has decided your body is a spectacle? 

In this episode Aya Fubara Eneli, Esq. and Adesoji Iginla sit with one of the most shattering stories in the long history of Black women’s resistance: the life of Saartjie (Sarah) Baartman, a Khoikhoi woman from the Eastern Cape of South Africa, who was taken to Europe in 1810, exhibited as a freak show attraction under the racist name “Hottentot Venus,” and whose remains were not returned to her homeland until 2002 nearly 200 years after her death.

This episode explores the life and legacy of Sarah Baartman (played by Aya), a woman whose story highlights the brutal history of racial exploitation, dehumanisation, and resistance. Through her narrative, we reflect on the ongoing fight for human dignity and the importance of remembering and honouring our history.

But Saartjie Baartman’s story is not simply a tragedy. It is a story of a woman who kept her tortoise-shell necklace across oceans, who refused to fully undress for European scientists even when offered money, who spoke five languages, danced her people's traditions, and played music until the end. It is a story of the Khoikhoi people who had already survived centuries of colonial violence before she was born. And it is a story of poets, activists, scholars, lawyers, and heads of state who refused to let her remain dishonoured.

► IN THIS EPISODE:

*The Khoikhoi world Sarah was born into — and what colonialism had already stolen from her people
*How she ended up in London and Paris, and what the historical record does and does not tell us about her consent
*The court case of 1810: abolitionist theatre or genuine advocacy?
*The science of dehumanisation: how Georges Cuvier and European “scientists” weaponised her body
*The long fight to bring her home — from Nelson Mandela’s request to Diana Ferrus’s poem that changed French law
*What her story reveals about the Black female body as a contested political site — then and now
*Contemporary resonances: from the Williams sisters to Kim Kardashian, and why these comparisons matter
*What resistance looked like from inside Saartjie’s own skin

 Takeaways

*The life of Sarah Bateman and her historical context
*The brutal exploitation and dehumanisation of Black bodies in history
*The ongoing fight for racial justice and human dignity
*The importance of remembering and honouring marginalised histories

She was a teacher who refused to teach poison. A social worker who went to prison for housing rights. A writer who threw stones with her mouth. A politician who entered Parliament at 79. Her name was Ellen Kuzwayo — and the world called her Mama Soweto.

In this episode of the Women and Resistance Podcast, hosts Adesoji Iginla and Aya Fubara Eneli Esq. sit with the extraordinary life of Nnoseng Ellen Kate Kuzwayo (1914–2006) — South African freedom fighter, author, community leader, and one of the most complete embodiments of Afrocentric resistance the modern world has ever witnessed.

From the fertile red soil of Thaba Nchu to the burning streets of Soweto. From a classroom she walked away from on moral grounds to a prison cell she walked out of unbroken. From the first autobiography ever published by a Black South African woman to the floor of South Africa's first multiracial Parliament — Ellen Kuzwayo's life is not just an inspiration. It is an instruction.

In this episode, we explore:
✊🏾 How a family's political heritage becomes a child's destiny
✊🏾 The 1953 Bantu Education Act and the courage it takes to refuse complicity
✊🏾 Domestic violence, liberation movements, and the double bind of Black womanhood
✊🏾 The 1976 Soweto Uprising and Ellen's detention under the Prevention of Terrorism Act
✊🏾 Call Me Woman — the landmark autobiography that made her the first Black person to win South Africa's CNA Literary Award
✊🏾 What Ellen Kuzwayo's 91-year arc teaches us about the long game of resistance
This is a conversation about land, language, identity, community, and the radical act of writing yourself into the historical record — because if you don't say it, it may not get said.

She crossed the Atlantic in a winter storm. She was pushed down a staircase for sitting where she chose. She was denied a visa, expelled from schools she'd passed the entrance exams to enter, and told — by an entire nation — that her skin made her less than human.

And then she stood before 2,000 people in Edinburgh, Scotland, and made them listen.

Meet Sarah Parker Remond (1826–1894), an abolitionist, transatlantic activist, suffragist, and physician. Born free in Salem, Massachusetts, she delivered her first anti-slavery speech at 16, sued a Boston theatre for segregation and won in 1853 — decades before Rosa Parks and went on to become one of the most powerful Black female orators of the 19th century. Then she crossed an ocean and became even more.

In this episode of Women and Resistance, hosts Aya Fubara Eneli Esq. and Adesoji Iginla take a deep, Afrocentric dive into a life that most history books forgot to mention — tracing Sarah's journey from the abolitionist households of Salem, to the packed lecture halls of Manchester and Edinburgh, to the medical schools of Florence, Italy, where she earned her physician's degree at age 42 and practiced medicine for over 20 years.

Takeaways

*How the Remond family built a dynasty of Black excellence, entrepreneurship, and resistance across generations
*Why Sarah's decision to publicly name the sexual exploitation of enslaved Black women was one of the most radical acts of her era
*What it means that a Black American woman had to cross an ocean to feel received as a full human being — and what that still echoes today
*The connection between her 19th-century supply chain arguments to British cotton workers and modern corporate accountability movements
*Why she — and her sisters — chose permanent exile in Italy over return to the country they had devoted their lives to liberating

She was pregnant when she fought. She was pregnant when they captured her. She gave birth in a prison cell. The next morning, they hanged her!

Her name was Solitude. And she chose that name herself.

In this week's episode of Women & Resistance, hosts @Aya Fubara Eneli, Esq., and Adesoji Iginla bring you the story of La Mulâtresse Solitude — born 1772 in Guadeloupe, a woman whose life spans rape at sea, Maroon resistance, armed combat, and a state execution the morning after she gave birth.

In 1802, Napoleon Bonaparte reinstated slavery in the French colonies — erasing eight years of freedom that the people of Guadeloupe had fought for and built lives within. 

Solitude — pregnant — took up arms alongside freedom fighters Louis Delgrès and Joseph Ignace. She fought in every major battle. She survived the mass detonation at Matouba, where 400 freedom fighters chose to blow themselves up rather than submit to re-enslavement. She was captured, imprisoned, and executed the day after delivering her child — because under colonial law, the child was her enslaver's property, and they could not destroy property before it was born.

Her story was nearly erased. Tonight, we restore it through an Afrocentric lens that situates Solitude in the long tradition of African women warriors: Nanny of the Maroons, Queen Nzinga of Angola, Yaa Asantewaa of the Ashanti. 

We ask what her life means for Black women's bodily autonomy today. We ask whether her proposed entry into the French Panthéon is recognition or co-optation. And we ask what radical self-determination looks like for Black women across eras.

 Takeaways

*History of slavery in Guadeloupe
*La Mulâtresse Solitude's personal story of resistance
*The impact of colonialism and slavery on African descendants
*Legacy of the Haitian Revolution and African resistance
*The importance of memory, history, and resistance in contemporary struggles

They told her she couldn't play. She told the whole world she was Black. 🖤

This week on Women & Resistance, Aya Fubara Eneli Esq. and Adesoji Iginla go deep into one of the most extraordinary — and underknown — stories of resistance in the African diaspora: the life and legacy of Victoria Santa Cruz (1922–2014), Afro-Peruvian choreographer, composer, activist, and author of the poem that launched a movement.

Born in Lima, Peru, Victoria grew up in a society that had spent a century erasing its African roots through the colonial ideology of mestizaje — racial "mixing" that really meant racial whitening. 

She grew up in a home full of Black artists and musicians, and grew up in a country that classified their art as folklore — charming, peripheral, not serious. 

At age five, she was told by a white girl that she couldn't play. At age 91, she died knowing that those words had become a global declaration of Black womanhood.

In this episode, we explore:

*The Spanish colonial casta system and how it engineered the erasure of Afro-Peruvians from national identity
*How Victoria built Peru's first Black theatre company with no formal training — then took it to the 1968 Olympics
*Me gritaron negra — the 1978 poem that became the founding text of the Afro-Peruvian women's movement and went viral during Black Lives Matter
*The natural hair movement in Peru and how a single poem sparked it
*Her radical philosophy: "Before Marx, there was rhythm" — why she refused political labels while fighting the hardest political battles
*What it means to use rhythm, dance, and ancestral memory as instruments of liberation — and why colonial powers knew to ban the drum

 Takeaways

*Victoria Santa Cruz's impact on Afro-Peruvian culture
*The role of rhythm and dance in resistance
*The history of racial hierarchy and erasure in Peru
*The importance of cultural memory and identity
*Victoria Santa Cruz's activism and legacy
