What happens when a child begins asking questions about where she comes from—and the adults around her decide to explore those questions with her?
Daughter of Ma’at is the first nonfiction work from Reya’Sekhmet and Ra’Asar.
Written as an intergenerational journey of learning, research, questioning, and discovery, the book explores the civilizations and knowledge systems of Kemet, Kush, Punt, and the wider Nile Valley through an African-centered perspective.
At the center of the book is Ma’at—a principle associated with balance, order, truth, justice, reciprocity, and right relationship.
Through conversations between grandfather and granddaughter, the authors examine ancient African approaches to cosmology, spirituality, governance, education, economics, language, institution-building, warriorship, cultural identity, and the preservation of knowledge.
But Daughter of Ma’at is not simply an examination of the ancient past.
It asks what happens when ancestral knowledge is brought into conversation with the world African people and African-centered communities face today.
What can ancient systems teach us about building institutions?
What does it mean to preserve a name, a language, a culture, or a historical memory?
How should we approach the civilizations that came before us?
And perhaps most importantly:
What responsibility comes with learning where we come from?
Rather than presenting the journey of learning as complete, Daughter of Ma’at embraces inquiry itself.
The authors draw from historical scholarship, research, cited sources, African-centered thinkers, and their own continuing study while inviting readers to distinguish between documented history, scholarly interpretation, cultural understanding, philosophical reflection, and the questions that remain open.
This is a book about history.
It is a book about identity.
It is a book about knowledge.
But above all, it is a book about learning across generations.
A grandfather teaches.
A granddaughter questions.
Together, they look backward—not to remain in the past, but to understand what the past might teach about the future.
This is not the end of the conversation.
It is an invitation to continue it.
