Cleopatra was:
- A skilled diplomat and politician
- Gifted in languages and oration

Cleopatra was NOT

I regret the missed opportunity to tell the stories of actual Black Queens.
I feel sorry for everyone who attached their name to this project, and had their credibility tanked.

My Coworker, Death
Death and I work very closely, but never together I see death in passing about once a week, but we've never actually met. For most people death is an obscure thought, something that rarely crosses the mind. For others, it is the prominent shadow that runs past our peripherals. Tonight, death worked over time. He was not a blur that ran past as I was turning away, but was a prominent shadow in the room I stood in and the floor beneath me. I didn't see him at first, he's easy to miss if you want to. My focus was on the muddy veins of my patient's right arm, attempting to finagle one last good one to draw from. It was never my forte, but when I did get it, I enjoyed watching the smooth red liquid collect into the tubes; the simple movement of it was relaxing to me in a sense. It was a reward, an earning for my blind pokes that eventually caught what I was looking for.

I'm sorry, Natasja, I'm not familiar with the project. But thank you for warning me away.
I've seen the previews for this documentary and that was enough to tell me I did not want to watch it. I love all thongs ancient Egyptian, but this was not enticing at all. You are not alone in feeling let down by the execution of that project.
Thank you for that!
Interesting. I have not seen this one. I would also like to see more black queens on screen!
