MAKEDA Profile

MAKEDA
MAKEDA

During the 10th century B.C., we hear of the deeds of Makeda — a near-legendary African woman. This queen had the qualities of an impressive ruler and seemed to possess governed over a prosperous land encompassing parts of both East Africa and Southwest Asia. Within the Quran, she is understood as Bilqis, within the great epic of Ethiopia called the Kebra Negast, she is named Makeda, and within the Bible and within the popular imagination of the Western world she is understood because of the Queen of Sheba. These texts show a clear image of a well-developed land characterized by the elevated overall posture of girls. And Makeda wasn’t an isolated phenomenon. Either their deeds or inheritance or both enabled such Black women to face out singularly and individually.
