Queens of Alkebulan 2027 Desktop Calendar — Ivory Edition

Celebrate twelve legendary African queens all year long with the Queens of Alkebulan 2027 Desktop Calendar — Ivory Edition from Descendants of the Taken Ones (DTOA). Each month pairs original portrait artwork of a great ruler with a warm ivory date grid — a bold serif month name, deep red weekday headers and generous open squares you can actually write in.

Every month is fully dated for 2027 and marks the days that matter: US federal holidays, plus heritage and cultural observances including Juneteenth, Harriet Tubman Day, Slavery Remembrance Day, Indigenous Peoples' Day, Kwanzaa, Black History Month and Disability Pride Month. Every page also carries a short biography of the queen.

The twelve rulers, in order: Queen Ahhotep I of Ancient Egypt, who helped defend the kingdom through war and royal transition; Queen Amanitore of Kush, remembered for temples and monumental building; Tin Hinan, honored in Tuareg tradition as founding matriarch of the Ahaggar; Queen Gudit (Yodit), who challenged established Ethiopian dynasties; Princess Yennenga, the warrior princess of Mossi tradition; Queen Idia of Benin, adviser and queen mother; Queen Amina of Zazzau, who expanded her kingdom through bold military campaigns; Empress Mentewab of Ethiopia, who ruled as queen mother and regent; Queen Nandi kaBhebhe of the Zulu Kingdom, mother of Shaka; Ndaté Yalla Mbodj of Waalo, who resisted French expansion; Rain Queen Modjadji I of the Balobedu; and Yaa Asantewaa, who led the War of the Golden Stool in 1900.

A note on pricing & shipping

Printed calendars ship heavy, and carrier rates on them run high — sometimes close to the cost of the calendar itself. Rather than pass that along, we lowered our 2027 desktop calendars from $9.50 to $8.50. We would rather keep our history in your hands than protect a margin.

Desktop calendar shipping: United States $7.49 · everywhere else $12.59. Rates are flat by destination and shown at checkout before you pay.
