On 17 October 1921, the great Ashanti warrior queen Yaa Asantewaa passed away. Her story is that of a queen who rallied masses to fight for their independence; hers is a story of courage, determination, and stamina. Yaa Asantewaa led a rebellion against the British at a time when the men surrounding her were low in spirit, afraid, and discouraged. She arose them to fight for their independence, and for their nation. Her fight against British colonialists is a story woven throughout the history of Ghana. - Queen- @misslilitham Photographer- @ndumisosibanda - #Yaaasantewaa #ejisu #ghana #warofthegoldenstool #mbewumovement #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #queens #ghana #ashanti #power #strength #bravery #africa #african #ndumisosibanda #johannesburg #jozi #gold #afropunk #history #blackhistory #asante #cinema

a speech from Queen Mother Asantewaa to her resistance forces: Now I see that some of you fear to go forward to fight for our king…in the brave days of Osei Tutu, Okomfo Anokye, and Opoku Ware, chiefs would not sit down to see their king to be taken away without firing a shot. No European could have dared speak to chiefs of Asante in the way the governor spoke to you this morning. Is it true that the bravery of Asante is no more? I cannot believe it. It cannot be! I must say this: if you, the men of Asante will not go forward, then we will. We, the women, will. I shall call upon my fellow women. We will fight! We will fight till the last of us falls in the battlefields. - - Queen: @miss_ntyatyi 📸: @ndumisosibanda - - #Yaaasantewaa #ejisu #ghana #warofthegoldenstool #mbewumovement #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #queens #ghana #ashanti #power #strength #bravery #africa #african #ndumisosibanda #johannesburg #jozi #gold #afropunk

Yaa Asantewaa meets @mbewumovement .... "Yaa Asantewaa was born in 1840 and died in 1921. She was a successful farmer and mother. She was an intellectual, a politician, human right activist, Queen and a leader. Yaa Asantewaa became famous for leading the Ashanti rebellion against British colonialism to defend the Golden stool." - - Queen: @l.y.t.sss 📸: @ndumisosibanda - - #Yaaasantewaa #ejisu #ghana #warofthegoldenstool #mbewumovement #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #queens #ghana #ashanti #power #strength #bravery #africa #african #ndumisosibanda #johannesburg #jozi #gold #afropunk #dynamicafrica

Yaa Asantewaa queen mother of Ejisu in the Ashanti Empire meets @mbewumovement in Jozi in this photo series. 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children is not enough to combat the plague that affects our communities but a life time of shifting that narrative will get us somewhere. I salute the women on our planet and live to make a change.
