Her father was shortsighted. A warrior daughter could pass her knowledge, experience and skills on to his grandchildren. Thus making the warrior lineage even stronger if they choose that path.🤔🤔🤔

[@downtownon7thavenue]

Damon Patterson sadly most Africans were small minded like her dad which is why there were so many African kingdoms that were taken over. They never saw the bigger picture.

[@madisonc1588]

And it would make her fight even harder because she is fighting to protect her husband

[@janibii_608]

maybe he was selfish and wanted her just to himself, and if there were more people with great fighters they wouldn't all want to fight for his kingdom.

[@adinas6516]

Creative Mind - why is it seen that having Disney's approval to screen an African tale is the highest honour to ones story. Look what Disney did to Mulan, Moana, Pocahontas. They were changed to suit Western audiences palette. Do you want that for an African tale/stories. Let your tales stay African by producing them in Africa for African audience and those who appreciate them as they are.

[@Oceanstalker]

Yeah F Disney, this story a high league all on it's own

[@dawnrosewood7060]

@@adinas6516 Most people arent going to get to hear about this story. Just like with the other stories the only reason we know about them and were lead to see the true story it was based off was because of Disney. Also, most of the stories were changed because of violence anyway.

[@angelpeeples2282]

Why turn this into a disney movie when its as good as normal btw its better than a disney movie

[@Hakajin]

...So why isn't she a Disney princess again? It'd be an interesting reversal to see a woman fight for her freedom to marry (nothing bad about heroines who fight for their right not to marry, but I think we're at the point where the subversion has become the cliche). And it'd be especially complex considering that she had to use her cunning and martial prowess to that end. Honestly, before Princess and the Frog came out... Nothing against that movie, it's great, but when I first heard we were getting an African Disney princess, I was hoping for a figure from folklore.

[@zerotodona1495]

Hakajin most African stories are not written (tribal stories are oral so it’s hard to find a good solid story). Though I rather have an real African princess than the racist abortion that was princess and the frog. You have to understand though, even if Disney made a real African princess, the American blacks would slam it so hard for being made by whites since most animators are whites. Also, you do know lion king is African (because lions are only found in African) so nala is an African princess.

[@willmako5009]

There would be accusations of cultural appropriation. That's why the only black princess in the Disney movies is an Afro-American cliché (not saying that it's better).

[@OffDaT33]

Disney doesn't DESERVE to tell this lovely tale. They will only wreck it anyway....

[@samanthaperry4543]

Miss C that doesn't mean that the original story is changed forever

[@smiller4606]

Honestly, I think Tyler Perry Studios needs to collaborate with black animators and compete with Disney to release these types untold stories, and he shouldn't limit them to African folk tales, but pick up other untold ethnic folk tales and make them kid friendly while keeping them true to their history. Then make the adult versions.

Listen to the narration again. And as far as I know (I stand to be corrected) she is from the Dagomba tribe which is indigenous to present day Ghana. She eloped north away from the land of Dagomba and met her husband somewhere up north, they had a son and their lineage created Burkina Faso. PS: our mordern day borders were created by the European powers of the day. Same way there are Akans in both Ghana and Ivory Coast and Ewe in both Ghana and Togo. There is no argument here 🤦🏾‍♂️

realbrat40 Well that’s really sad. Maybe it’s different for WOC but too often we are the ones carrying the bulk of the load. My dad was in the home but growing up, I saw my mother do EVERYTHING. She had a career and took care of us. Same with my grandma and on and on. And I have taught my daughter everything from how to cook to mowing the grass to checking and changing the fuse box and air filter, changing a tire and sorting and doing laundry. I’ve never put a limit on what she can do and I don’t see that with friends and family who have girls. It hurts my heart to think that someone would raise a child with limits.

[@Kalopsia1875]

It's somehow ironic how Yennenga wanted to marry but her father wouldn't allow it, whereas in most stories it's the other way around, fathers forcing their dauthers to marry somebody they did not love.

But no, lets take and old story that was told a tousand times and that already has movies and lets give it to a black person because they don't have original stories.

Yes very true but disney is a pathetic company which doesn't take any risks

[@tlome8033]

The root of the story goes against the feminist narrative. But they can make a story inspired from it by changing around a few things by integrating characters from African mythology like the Kishi who is a demonic two-faced attractive man whose second face is a hyena who the father doesn't allow her to marry until he finds a power to even trick the king. The Mami Wata (African "mermaids) warn her as well when she fetches water from a secret lagoon when she roams too far away when her dad isn't paying attention. They even sing a song about a humble elephant herder in her future. But she thinks they are only doing it to gain favor from her father the king. Which is a complete insult because they are known to be fiercely independent. They can also use the Aziza - the fairy creatures of Africa who protect the environment - to try to warn the strong willed princess about letting the wheat rot which comes back to hurt her because it attracts the Tokoloshe (African zombie gremlins) who feed on the spoiled wheat and kidnap her. Luckily, the fairies help her escape and that is when she meets her future husband after he fights both the gremlins and the Kishi, who finds her and makes a deal with the gremlins for her promising some of the riches of the land with his new found control of the king.

I don't remember it's been awhile) All Disney princess are different nationalities sure they may look the same but as people they are not you can't group a group of people as one race sometimes (unless it's one of those videos where your explaining or talking about race then you can mention where your from) because grouping them up is like being backwards racist in a way where there not all the same like how it is for black people not all of you are the same you never know who's African or African American,you never know who's Nigerian or Jamaican you never know who's Haitian from west African it's all different I do agree we need more colored princesses and stories and when I mean colored I mean excactly what it means all colored women Black,Asian,Hispanic,etc everyone who's not the color white we need more stories about them as this world is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people and all people need to be understood and respected and loved for who they are and their cultures so with that being said we do need more stories like this it was interesting to learn about another country that wasn't my own and to hear about a awesome bad but princess who's lit like yes lol cast me as her in the next movie but I'm not her skin color (I'm biracial) lol if everyone is cool with that then call a sista up lol

[@Grace-eg3ky]

I absolutely loved this, it's another part of African history that needs to be heard and you brought it👍

Mulan was a Chinese warrior Yennenga was an African warrior , Did you realize .....

[@starseeds6258]

Yupppp... I was saying the same..this is where they took Mulan from most likely..lol

[@blerdyveetv]

Ayesha Barrow Mulan is based of Chinese folklore of an actual person.

[@maryxxam7400]

Mulan was based of a Chinese folk tale/ legend tho so......

[@marie-reneebondo9096]

Ayesha Barrow No, they didn’t. Mulan was a Chinese folklore much like how this was an African story.

[@giareneeble]

I LOVED this!! Please more legends, fairytales and lives of extraordinary people in this format please 😩😍

[@nw9801]

🙏🏾PLEASE MAKE THIS CARTOON AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE! Every Black child needs to see this! Also, you and Afric Network should do a collab. Both your channels are great resources for the Black community!

[@sihmonahblyf4733]

@HomeTeam I LOVE ❤LOVE❤✊🏾 LOVE this story, the animation, and your soothing crisp voice. I showed this to my 12 year old daughter and she was inspired. I swear your videos give me power!! Please make a cartoon story about King Menelek and Empress Taytu Betul and how she defeated the Italians at the Battle of Adwa Ethiopia 1896 gaining thier independence from the Italians. And the real Cinderella story Disney stole from Egypt, her name was NOT Cinderella but her name was Queen Mebkara Nete Kerty 2160 B.C.E. who was the daughter of King Pepe the II. Queen Menkara Nety Kerty independently ruled Egypt and there were many legends about her. One legend was that she was bathing in the river and her clothes were on the banks when a bird came and took her shoe and traveled across the land and dropped her shoe in a Kings lap. He searched all over to find the owner of the shoe until he found Queen Menkara Nete Kerty and they married.
