In Episode 3, Host Nkechi Taifa discusses  her article, “Why the Woman King Made Me Feel Like a Queen.” She also reflects on an uncomfortable issue, that prisoners of war taken aboard The Clotilda, the last known slave ship to illegally enter US shores in 1860, were captured by the Agogie women warriors on behalf of the Kingdom of Dahomey and then sold to Europeans. She plays a recorded interview with Kamau Sadiki, a Black deep sea diver who was part of the diving team discovering the shipwrecked Clotilda in 2019.
