Set against the backdrop of a turbulent era, Queen Of Our Times follows the journey of a young woman named Nzingha. Born into a royal family in the Kingdom of Ndongo in present-day Angola, Nzingha was a fierce and intelligent young woman who defied the expectations placed upon her. Despite being denied a formal education, she excelled in both warfare and diplomacy, quickly becoming a trusted advisor to her father, the king.

As tensions rose between the Ndongo Kingdom and the Portuguese colonizers, Nzingha emerged as a formidable leader. She rallied her people to resist the invaders, using her cunning and determination to outwit her enemies. Through a series of daring raids and strategic alliances, Nzingha managed to hold off the Portuguese for decades, earning the respect and admiration of both her people and her adversaries.

In addition to her military prowess, Nzingha was also a skilled diplomat. She traveled extensively throughout Africa and Europe, forging alliances and seeking support for her cause. She was the first African woman to be received by the Pope in Rome, and her diplomatic efforts helped to raise awareness of the plight of her people.

Queen Of Our Times is a captivating historical epic that tells the inspiring true story of a courageous woman who defied the odds. Nzingha's story is a testament to the power of one person to make a difference, and her legacy continues to inspire people around the world today.
