Reagan Adenyi, a learner in the Justice Studies program at Bow Valley College, offers his talk, “African Roots of Gender Equality”, as a reminder of the resilience, of innovation, and of creativity that exists within Kintsugi. We are reminded that there is always opportunity for beautification in what we consider to be broken. Reagan’s talk will reinforce an important ideal which is, when we engage in a concept, its ability to be further elevated after lessons learned, can be something far more sophisticated than we could first imagine. Reagan Adenyi is a learner in the Justice Studies program, in the School of Community Studies. He is currently president of the Justice 4 All Club at Bow Valley College, as well as a member of the Bow Valley College Toastmasters Club, and a Councillor with the Students Association of Bow Valley College. He has worked as a community leader, starting and successfully running Africa's Promise Youth Leadership Club, a not-for-profit organization. For Reagan, the stories of Africa and African cultures have shaped his self-image and character. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

LOVE THIS! WHEN TALKING ABOUT OURSELVES AND OUR HISTORY IT IS SUPER IMPORTANT THAT WE DATE TO THE PRECOLONIAL ERA!

This is what not many are interested in documenting and sharing. If Africans don't document their history, others will twist it and document it for them!!!

Yes we do. It's encoded into our songs, our dances, our clothing, our religion, myths, stories and most importantly poems

I wonder which countries Reagan's NGO is covering for panelling a discussion about original African equality? This is beautiful and so much needed indeed!

Wow!! I really loved this! Great insights. However, while i do agree with what he pointed out, I think that we had some forms of inequality in our pre-colonial societies, but this became much more enhanced by the advent of the colonial masters that Africans today have come to believe the concept as inherent in our culture

I am not that sure! In different western African countries women where the one dealing with Gold! And in my own tribe women could divorce without having to explain themselves and could equally claim a lover as a man could also… “Basaa” from Cameroon

The Igbo are not a subgroup of the Yoruba. They are a completely different ethnic group, in South Eastern Nigeria.

NeHanda…you didn’t pronounce anything about her as it should be in Shona. But yes, she was a female who fought colonialism in Rhodesia which became, Zimbabwe.

8:18 Truth, read Second Class Citizen or Joys of Motherhood: books by Buchi Echemeta. A woman who had a house and land in her village, was from a prominent and respected family, lost all her status and money because she had to get married to a houseboy for a white woman in Lagos. She began to live a very wretched life and almost committed suicide after losing her first baby to malnutrition: the irony 🤦🏾‍♀️

@@J040PL7 that's what happens when you lose your way. The " just be yourself" mantra is not a scam. We should all do things in line with what suits us instead of doing what is in vogue.
