Episode 45 - African Melanin Queens: Let’s Start From The Beginning.

Author: Goddess Asha Mariama August 8, 2026 Duration: 40:02
In this episode, I want to talk about African Melanin Queens when it comes to starting from the beginning when it comes to our history. When it comes to where our trauma, pain, suffering, being single mothers, assault, and trauma begin. I think that we need to go about talking about our healing and recovery from a whole different perspective. I think that we need to talk about the healing process and recovering from what we’ve been through from the very beginning from where it all started slavery. We need to talk about the history of black women when it comes to everything that we have been through when it comes to our African ancestors women. What they have suffered from during the time of slavery? How all of that has transition to a scarlet letter that black women have been wearing for very long time that we didn’t deserve? We also need to talk about the pain and suffering from not just light skin African decent people, but also dark skin African descent people. This process ain’t gonna be for the faint of parts, because so many people have allow men to define who they are as women. When women shouldn’t be defined by men, we should be defined to ourselves as women as far as who we are, how we dress, our success, as wives, and as mothers. So I hope these upcoming podcast episodes give you all some inspiration, as well as helping you through your healing and recovery as African descent women, regardless of where you are around the world.

Hosted by Goddess Asha Mariama, African Melanin Queens is a space dedicated to the affirmation and holistic elevation of Black women. This podcast directly confronts the damaging narratives that suggest independent women, single mothers, or those deemed average or unattractive by societal standards are not worthy of high-value partnerships or self-love. Each episode serves as a counter-narrative, weaving together discussions on culture, mental fortitude, and physical well-being to reinforce a core truth: you are inherently enough. The conversation extends beyond mere encouragement, delving into practical education and self-improvement strategies that honor the full spectrum of the Black female experience. Listeners will find a blend of personal reflection, cultural analysis, and actionable advice on health and fitness, all framed within a context of societal awareness. It’s a gathering for those seeking to reclaim their narrative and find strength in community. Tune in for honest dialogue that celebrates beauty in all its forms-flaws, imperfections, and past mistakes included-while building a foundation for unshakable confidence and continued growth. This is where the journey back to self, in all its powerful and multifaceted glory, truly begins.
