Episode 53: Queen Nanny of the Windward Maroons Have You Met Her?

    • History

On today's episode we're going to be talking about a woman who was an outstanding military leader, a symbol of unity and strength, a freedom fighter... and a bit of an enigma. The history writers during her lifetime viewed her (and her people) as dangerous animals, and wrote of them as such; however, Jamaican Maroons speak of her reverently and still believe that she looks after them and protects them to this day.
