I hope the #BlackPanther effect makes Nollywood create more empowering roles for women. We love to see strong, black woman on screen.And the stories need not be fiction! Maybe a movie inspired by the legend of Queen Amina?Funmi Ransome-Kuti? Aba women who led the 1929 revolution?

[Africally Speaking @africallyspkn]

@AfricaCommsWeek @MmeHarmony Yes. But that would require financial investment which is often an obstacle many.
