The Spirit of Nanny: Warrior. Mother. Maroon.
“Let us remember that we come from a people who refused to bow. A people who refused to be broken. A people who, like Nanny, knew that freedom was not given, it was taken.”
Let us take a moment to honour one of the fiercest women to ever walk the soil of resistance, Queen Nanny of the Maroons. She was not just a Jamaican hero. She was a spiritual general, a divine strategist, a freedom fighter born of Ashanti royalty who rose against the might of the British Empire and won.
Let the record be set straight.
Was Nanny a Maroon?
