AFRICAN QUEENS: NJINGA' Netflix dropped the trailer for upcoming series African Queens: Njinga which premieres on 15 February. The series will be made up of four 45 minute episodes. The series is narrated by Jada Pinkett Smith.

There are so many stories to be told in regard to the Black experience globally. I think that it's important to tell the stories now because we can and haven't always been able to. Even though there's a lot more work to do, we're at a place now where we have the ability and the opportunity to tell stories that have been forgotten as well as the stories that are part of our everyday lives, and what a gift that is, said Jada Pinkett Smith.

It's a testament to standing on the shoulders of all of those that came before us that didn't have the opportunities that we have but were part of carving out the path for all of us to get to where we are today. African Queens is in honor of that, she continued.
