The African Matriarchs Who Saved Their People: A Lesson on Dying History
Hi guys! Join us as we discuss two very significant women whose stories were almost lost to time--Pokou of the Baoule of Ivory Coast and Sarraounia of the Azna of Niger. We give background to the worlds they find themselves in, the occasions that necessitated that they step up, and how they did so exquisitely.
