    Gor Mahia predicted the coming of European invaders but could not repel them? What? Is this your super hero? He has the power of a scholar?

    • @shujaastories
      @shujaastories 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@ericmungai9175 Good question! Gor Mahia's powers were not limited to prophecy, he possessed other magical abilities, that earned him his name Mahia. Beyond foretelling the arrival of the Europeans, Gor also predicted natural disasters and calamities, giving his people time to prepare and avoid great losses. While his prophecies were accurate, like many legends, they did not prevent the inevitable. The question of why these legends could stop the Europeans despite such foresight remains one we continue to ponder today.

    I had taken a long break from social media and coming back, this was one of the most hard-hitting messages I've seen and heard. I worked closely with Masidza at Strathmore University during his leadership at SU Media Group in 2012/2013. He had this striking smile and was always psyched up for collaboration in diverse initiatives. RIP Masidza.

    What an impressive & highly needed project. Especially, as contemporary feminism focuses on African female leadership of the West & West Africa. I live in Germany & a lot of young Black women, when it comes to historical African queens/women leaders, only know about Ya Asantewaa & Nzingha Ngola. East & Southern historical African women in power are completely overlooked or just unknown 😢

      Thank you for your thoughtful comment! We're glad the Queens of the Swahili Seas project resonates with you. And you are right! There’s a lot of focus on the queens and legendary women from Western Africa but very little is known about the East African ones, in this case Kenya. We hope projects like this can help bridge the gap and bring these powerful stories to light for more people, especially young Black women in the diaspora. Thank you for your support.
