This anthology offers an in-depth analysis of Nyuki, a political comic published by Akina Mama wa Afrika. Nyuki—Swahili for “bee”—is a powerful allegory that follows the lives of bees, symbolising collective labour, resilience, and communal strength. The comic explores the enduring legacies of colonialism, imperialism, and patriarchy through striking visuals and rich symbolism, revealing how these forces have shaped today’s global wealth inequalities. Told from a Pan-African feminist perspective, Nyuki challenges dominant economic narratives and reimagines taxation as a pathway to justice, equity, and Ubuntu. It calls on readers to confront historical power structures and recognise fair taxation as a critical tool in dismantling entrenched privilege. Read the full comic: The Bee Story: A Metaphorical Tale of Wealth Disparity and the Need to Tax the Rich.

Heartfelt thanks to the authors—Trudy Asiima, Lisa Charity Nabuchabo, Joanita Komungaro Mbabazi, Freddie Kagino, Hawa N. Kimbugwe, and Hilda Evelyn Nakyondwa—whose contributions brought this work to life. Deep appreciation also goes to graphics designer Samson Mwaka, without whom this project would not have been possible.
