We’re talking about the new movie just announced starring Viola Davis and Lupita Nyong’o called The Woman King. It’s based off the true events of the Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It’ll follow Nanisca (Davis), a general of the all-female military unit known as the Amazons. She teams up with her daughter Nawi (Nyong’o) to fight the French and neighboring tribes who violated “their honor, enslaved their people and threatened to destroy everything they’ve lived for,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

So basically two of the baddest actresses in the game right now will

1. Portray a group that was taking names like the Dora Milaje before there even was a Dora Milaje

2. Rep for the dark skin sistas everywhere, so that all the fam can come through

3. Bring new light to Africa in a way that isn’t submissive or helpless

4. Reach peak #BlackGirlMagic by exploring an intimate mother-daughter relationship

They’ll be doing all this?

Okay, we’ll try to keep calm.
