I became president of the Black Student Union in the late 1990’s where Professor Dr. Niyi Coker would give my name today “Nzingha.” I was deeply involved in student activism and protests to get U.A.B to allow the Black Studies dept. to declare it as a minor for interested students. After much hard work it was a landslide victory and now students can get that minor at U.A.B. After graduation I moved to Atlanta,Ga and lived among and studied with the 12 Tribe Rastafarian community, Hebrew Israelites, The Nuwaubian Nation, MXGM (The Malcolm X Grassroots Movement) The Pentecostal Church, The Hippie Community of Little 5 points, prophetic intercessors at various metro Atlanta churches and many more progressive life changing groups and organizations that removed the veil of ignorance that I had regarding what it meant to be a black woman and Black Queen in the world.
