My Village Queens tells the story of a young woman, Mardea Johnson who pays homage to the female warriors of Africa. Built upon the backdrop of the five women that raised her-her mom and four aunties, Mardea categorizes the impact and influence that each of them had upon her life. Drawing from the strength of notable African warriors like Madame SuaKoko of Liberia, Yaa Asantewaa of Ghana, Queen Amina of Nigeria, Queen Nzinga of Angola, the Dahomey Amazons of Benin, Mardea takes us on a wonderful journey of life in a traditional African village. Through the beautiful artwork, using unique African dolls created by artist Wilma Stryker, young girls everywhere will find themselves in each of these beautiful characters.
Since the dawn of time, African women have been the backbones of their families. Many have not only worked in the home, but outside the home. During slavery, when many of the men were taken away from their villages, the women stepped in and served as warriors to protect their families. To date, no children's books or movies have been written about them.
