The image features Alaa Salah, a 22-year-old student who became the face of the 2019 Sudanese Revolution. Captured by photographer Lana Haroun, the photo shows Salah dressed in white, standing atop a car and leading the crowd in song and protest against the regime of Omar al-Bashir. Dubbed the 'Kandaka' or Nubian Queen, the image quickly transcended its political origins to become a global symbol of female-led activism and speaking truth to power. In the meme world, it is frequently used to represent someone standing firm in their convictions, delivering a legendary 'hot take,' or being the dominant voice of reason amidst a sea of followers.
