Early Ad Free: Yaa Asantewaa
Yaa Asantewaa is maybe not a name you know, but you really should. This African queen fought back hard when she found her way of life in jeopardy from European colonists. We hope you love this!

I’m glad we learned about Joan of Arc in school but wish they taught us about Yaa. Incredible story
