KANDAKA (AFRICAN WOMEN IN POWER) 

About the Project: 

What is (Kandaka) kadake or kentake. often Latinized as Candace (was the Meroitic term for the queen of the king of Kush who, due to the matrilineal succession, would bear the next heir, making her a queen mother. She had her own court, probably acted as a landholder, and held a prominent secular role as regent. Contemporary Greek and Roman sources treated it, incorrectly, as a name. 

 

What about the Kandakas: 

Why did I choose this topic? The 6th of April 2019 was the beginning of the Sudanese revolution. That was Sudanese women started to stand out asking for their own human rights and freedom

 

What is the emotion that this project delivers: 

The emotion I wanted to deliver in this short Film I wanted to show how powerful women are after the revolution. By having the ability to choose whatever they want, acting in the way they want, and dressing in the way they like. To show the world that they are in control of themselves.
