Queen Nanny, also known as Nanny of the Maroons, is Jamaica's only female national hero. This episode delves into the struggles and triumphs of the Maroons - enslaved people who gained freedom and formed their own communities. The British faced significant losses due to Maroon resistance, as Queen Nanny's strategic brilliance and leadership led to the freedom of over 1,000 enslaved individuals. The narrative takes an intriguing turn with peace treaties signed in 1739-1740, which granted the Maroons their freedom but transformed them into 'mountain police.' Queen Nanny's legacy is a symbol of strength, resistance, and the fight for freedom.  Follow us on IG: itsacontinentpod and Twitter: itsacontinent.

Colonial and white supremacist historical narratives rarely acknowledge the history of Black resistance and rebellion, or the free Black communities created by Maroons, some of which still exist to this day.

The Maroons of Jamaica The Maroon Celebration takes place annually on January 6th. Who are the maroons? The maroons descend from Africa who freed themselves from slavery in Jamaican and established communities of freed black people in the mountainous interior of Jamaica. They were the first to develop refugee communities. The Maroons revolted against he British causing economic harm to the sugar industry. British. The British were not successful in theses revolts soldiers either go lost or were rumored to have said that her forest just got up and attacked them. Treaties were signed with the Leeward Maroons in 1739 and the Leeward Maroons in 1740, giving them land. The treaties required the maroons to support the institution of slavery by returning run away salves. The treaties were signed but the battles continued for more than a century until the massive uprising in 1831 that lead to the abolition of slavery in Jamaican and the British colonies in the Caribbean. The word Maroon comes from the Spanish word Cimaroon meaning “fierce” or “unruly”. The descendants of the maroons celebrate life, legacy and Queen Nanny at the annual event. Queen Nanny is known as one of the earliest leaders of slave resistance in the Americas, and one of very few women. She is Jamaica's only female National hero and was a well-known leader of the Jamaican Maroons in the eighteenth century.

Writer and broadcaster Lindsay Johns continues his series of essays examining five great world cities through the prism of their relationship with Africa. In the Jamaican capital, Kingston, this different lens leads to a focus not on pristine beaches, sunshine and cricket, but instead on rebellion and spirituality. Lindsay considers Jamaica's history, intimately inter-woven with the tragedies, iniquities and horror of slavery; but also one defined by those who have refused to accept that status quo, from Queen Nanny to Marcus Garvey. And as he walks the city's streets, from downtown to New Kingston, where Jamaica's thriving community of entrepreneurs, business people and scientists is based, he ponders Kingston's spiritual connections with East Africa - and Ethiopia - and how profoundly they have affected the city. Producer: Giles Edwards

This week we discuss two women fighting for change in their communities - albeit in very different ways. Michael discusses Diane Nash, a leader of the Civil Rights movement committed to non-violence, and Katie introduces us to Queen Nanny, a leader of the Jamaican maroon community who waged a guerilla war against the British. We also talk about Q Anon, voting, and the importance of political engagement. Note: Because 2020 has been *gestures wildly at everything going on* we will be releasing our next few episodes out of order. This episode was originally intended to be the third in a series examining women from Kamala Harris' DNC acceptance speech. We hope to release parts one and two of that series soon. (Also, Michael references previous conversations about the show Black Sails - which are on episodes we recorded this summer but haven't been able to release yet. You're not missing any crucial context, but he would recommend you go watch the show. You can skip most of the first season.)

Today’s walk is dedicated to a political organizer, military strategist, and master of guerrilla warfare, the one and only Queen Nanny of Jamaica. A woman who guided her people through an intense period of fighting against the British.From Queen Nanny, we learn the art of resistance. Get ready to take notes.Queen Nanny was the military vision keeper and spiritual and cultural leader of the Windward Maroons. A community of resistors, who had escaped the brutality of enslavement on the British owned sugarcane plantations in Jamaica. Thought to be descendant from the Ashanti Tribe in Ghana, Queen Nanny was a fierce leader who helped the Maroons fight two guerrilla wars. These wars forced the British to recognize Jamaica's autonomy, establishing their freedom.Queen Nanny baffled and infuriated her enemies. They couldn’t understand that the source of courage and fire came directly from her African ancestry, which she strategically kept alive through stories, music and customs within Nannytown, a village she established high in the Blue Mountains as a refuge for her people.There’s so much to learn from Queen Nanny’s story. It doesn’t matter if your battle is happening in the valleys or the hills. If it’s personal or professional. It doesn’t matter if you’ve already been served a defeat. There is still a path to victory. Just let the ancient wisdom of Queen Nanny guide you to where you need to be.It’s about to be a revolution in these streets on today’s walk.Join the second edition of GirlTrek’s Black History Bootcamp at blackhistorybootcamp.com to receive specially curated emails with inspiring words, survival tips, speeches + dedicated songs to listen to for each episode.

Tonight Join The Gist of Freedom as we talk to Maroon Scholar Hoshaiah Khalil about the World Premiere  of the film Queen Nanny  - Monday, October 19, 2015 At The United Nations, New York City http://bit.ly/RSVP_QueenNanny Carlota Lukumí… Carlota and another enslaved woman named Fermina led an organized rebellion at the Triumvarato sugar plantation. Carlota was kidnapped from her Yoruba tribe, brought in chains to Cuba as a child and forced into slavery in the city of Matanzas, working to harvest and process sugar cane under the most brutal of conditions. She was bright, musical, determined and clever. Fermina was locked up after her plans for the rebellion were discovered. Using talking drums to secretly communicate, Carlota and her fellow warriors freed Fermina and dozens of others, and went on to wage a well-organized armed uprising against at least five brutal slave plantation operations in the area. Carlota's brave battle went on for one year before she was captured.
