When I
was watching Captain America: Civil War there was a scene where Black
Panther is heading to his car to leave and this Black lady tells
Black Widow (so much Black!) to move or she will move her. Me and
some other people in the theater were like “Whoa. Who is this?” I
went online looking for some random Black Panther sidekick or partner
that I wasn't aware of. I even checked during the credits looking for
a comic book type name that I could attach to this woman. I couldn't,
Even when I checked online for something like “Black woman, Civil
War, Black Panther” nothing came up. Plus those three phrases will
lead you down a 1960's rabbit hole of injustice.
Eventually
I found a name that seemed Africa-like and discovered her name is
Florence Kasumba. In the movie she is listed as security officer. She
lives in Germany but was born in Kampala, Uganda. She is 5 foot 8 and
seems cool as fuck. One scene! That was all she needed to make an
impression on me. She has been in a bunch of movies and series that
I've never seen or heard of but I seriously hope that she is in the
Black Panther solo film. She doesn't need a suit or anything! Just
have her kick a little bit of ass and I'll be happy.

Black panther has a sister who was pretty bad ass or maybe (big maybe) it's a nod to storm his wife for a time in the comics..move or u will be moved.
Someone on Twitter broke it down for me and sent links about this bad ass group of women from many tribes that he has as security.
