Minna LaFortune Honors the Strength of African Women with New Single “African Women” December 3, 2025 marks a new milestone in the career of reggae singer Minna LaFortune. The artist unveils “African Women”, a powerful and vibrant single entirely dedicated to African women and women of African descent around the world. Driven by an infectious rhythm and deeply committed lyrics, this track stands as an anthem to the pride, resilience, and genius of Black women. A Heartfelt Call for Recognition and Empowerment With “African Women”, Minna LaFortune does more than celebrate: she pays tribute and demands recognition. The song carries a clear message of respect and solidarity, summed up in her words:“I hear you, I see you. One love and nuff respeck!” This symbolic refrain acts as a direct address to African women, who are often at the forefront of social, family, and cultural struggles, yet too rarely put in the spotlight. LaFortune looks at them, listens to them, and uses her voice to amplify theirs. Showcasing Multiple, Essential Roles One of the song’s strengths lies in the way it portrays the diversity of roles held by African women. Behind every role stands a creative and transformative force: - They are dancers, guardians of rhythm, joy, and tradition.  - They are teachers, passing on knowledge and opening doors for future generations.  - They are entrepreneurs and leaders, heading companies, organizations, and innovative initiatives.  - They are artists, fashion creators, thinkers, whose ideas and aesthetics influence the entire world.  From Milan to Paris, from New York to Lagos, the lyrics highlight the growing presence of African women in universities, boardrooms, creative studios, and major fashion capitals. Minna LaFortune insists: these women are not on the margins of history, they are its main actors. A Clear-Eyed Look at Struggles, Turned Toward Resilience The track does not shy away from historical and contemporary challenges. The rap sections firmly anchor the song in a reality of hard work, suffering, injustice, and discrimination.
