The Kandake

Sunday, 4 August 2019

The Kandake means "great woman", a royal term given to the leader of Meroe and the Kingdom of Kush, which we now know it as "Sudan". 



I never understood what it meant and I didn't understand that my name has great power of being named after the country of Azza (Sudan). 

As a creative, I have the power to uphold this meaning as well as being a Nubian queen in a new way.
