Mama Africa
Her Majesty Mambokadzi Arutura Collier Aluko, ‘Mama Africa,’ is the King-Woman of the Mutapa and Barwe Kingdoms and Paramount Chief of the Bakholokoa Kingdom, in southern Africa.
Her bloodline governance was chosen by nature; she was instructed from birth to bring stability to the people, the land, and to nature. As such, Mambokadzi signifies the spirit, mind, emotion, and body of her people’s struggle; her sovereign matriarchal position is founded in the spiritual realm and actioned in the physical world.
Over the past 40 + years Mambokadzi Arutura Collier Aluko has worked as a specialist in institutional and community development in Northern and Southern Ireland using hands-on corporate governance and participative representation as tools for transparent community progress and stakeholder impact; she is the first Black woman in Northern Ireland to:
advocate about racism and human rights in political forums
establish the first Black organisations - the NIACC and ACSONI
own Black hairdressing salons in Belfast, these served both Black and White patrons.
