Freedom Braids

Inspired by a true story of enslaved African women in Colombia braiding maps to freedom, this is a stunning book to behold. As a Black History book, honouring enslaved Africans in the Americas who fought for freedom, this is a story that will give the younger reader an age-appropriate soul-deep awareness of Black liberation during the Transatlantic Slave Trade era (c.1526-1867) as the story is told through the eyes of a young enslaved girl called Nemy.
