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.
