✨(10) Female Leaders in the African Diaspora I Wish I Had Learned About in School✨ mini zine trio. Featuring a timeline of their lives, lived contemporaneously. From free to enslaved, stemming from West Africa, 1685 to 1921, from Jamaica to Haiti, modern day Ghana, the US & parts of Europe the summary of the incomparable/unmatched lives of Queen Nanny of the Windward Maroons, Dedee Bazile, Gran Toya, Marie Claire Bonheur, Jacobin soldier Sainte Belair - the Tigress, Marie Jeanne Lamartinere, Mary Seacole, Harriet Tubman aka Moses/General Tubman, Queen Mother Yaa Asantewaa of the Asante Confederation & Buffalo Soldier Cathay Williams. Highlighting their leadership, resistance, & continuance of African rooted tradition in various forms. I close the zine with representation of Queen Nanny on the Jamaican 500 bill, Sanite Belair on the Haitian 10 gourde, & the talk of Harriet Tubman being placed on the US 20 bill. (Homage reference to Dessalines & Yaa Asantewaa to which my birthday is the anniversary of their deaths - Oct 17).
