This proverb is so powerful — it really speaks to the importance of who tells history and whose perspective is valued. Here’s a thoughtful way to present it:

🦁 “Until lions have their own historians, the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter.”

— African Proverb

This reminds us that history is often written by those in power, shaping narratives to favor their viewpoint. For true understanding, every voice—especially those historically silenced—must be heard and respected.

Reflection:

• Who controls the story controls how people remember the past.

• Elevating African voices and perspectives challenges colonial and biased histories.

• True justice and healing come from acknowledging all sides of the story.
