Mythologically Speaking

Mythologically Speaking is a mytho-political commentary series that dissects modern issues through the lens of African mythology.

This page houses bold, high-impact essays and visuals that translate ancient logics into present-day provocations. Every piece in this series answers the question: what would mythology say? It’s where African deities, cosmologies, and ancestral systems are not just referenced but re-activated. Where the Orisas speak on governance.

Where Kemetian time confronts Western clocks. Where myths about Blackness, power, and identity are broken down and reassembled with historical clarity and poetic precision.Here, mythology is not folklore. It is infrastructure. It is governance. It is law.
And this series says so—loudly.

Mythologically Speaking is designed for cultural curators, educators, political thinkers, and Black creatives who want to engage with mythology as more than aesthetic. Whether it’s deconstructing colonial myths or reasserting divine order, this series gives language to what many feel but few can articulate: that the ancient is not dead—it’s weaponised and ready.

From viral tiles to codex-based essays, each entry is designed to be shareable, citational, and mythically accurate. Come speak mythically. Say what needs to be said.
