In this episode, we remember the women history tried to forget.

From Fatima al-Fihri, who founded the world’s first university, to Yaa Asantewaa and Muthoni wa Kirima, who led resistance against empire—these stories challenge the silence that surrounds women’s contributions to education, liberation, and legacy.

I also share the story of my relationship with my grandmother, a matriarch whose wisdom shaped generations despite never appearing in official records.

Through personal reflection, historical storytelling, and a call to remembrance, this episode explores how forgetting is a form of injustice—and how remembering becomes an act of resistance, restoration, and love.
