What is The Baobab Within?
We reclaim African stories erased by colonial narratives. Through video, articles, and research, we highlight the power, strategy, and legacy of Africa’s greatest leaders, kingdoms, and spiritual traditions.
At The Baobab Within, we’re on a mission to reclaim African history—one story at a time.
We dive deep into the lives of powerful African figures like Queen Nzinga, Samori Touré, and Haile Selassie, explore the empires they built, and reflect on the wisdom they left behind.
Because these stories are not just history—they are the foundation of identity, strength, and possibility for generations to come.
