In episode 29, we are discussing the Woman King movie. A historical epic inspired by the true events that happened in The Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. The kingdom Dahomey is currently Benin, my home country, so this movie is very personal for me, as it was the story I learned at the age of eight.  This movie is a women empowerment movie full of stories of courage, resiliency, love, confidence, and leadership.

In this episode, we share my conversation with a panel of three of my friends that I have watched the movie with, Chantal, Valentine and Nicole. We had a fun, fearless and fantastic conversation.

You will learn more on the following:

- Our aha moment of the movie

- Our favorite characters

- Our lessons learned

The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agojie, the all-female unit of warriors who protected the African Kingdom of Dahomey in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness unlike anything the world has ever seen .The story of the woman warriors depicted  is showcase in the book Amazons of Black Sparta, 2nd Edition: The Women Warriors of Dahomey.
