Coucou everyone!
This is our first episode that doesn't touch the continent of Europe but that doesn't make it any less important to European and World History! Today, we travel to present day Angola to discuss the relationship between Queen Nzinga and the Portuguese. A warrior, anti-imperialist, feminist, and possible (unconfirmed) Scorpio - Queen Nzinga had a tumultuous life full of twists and turns and never a dull moment. Pull up a human chair (don't do that) and have a listen!
