Yaa Asantewaa, Yaa Asantewaa!

The ideal woman who fought at the mouth of a cannon!
You are brave!
The land of Asante, we remember you!
We give you congratulations for fighting!
Mmm, we give you congratulations for fighting!

My daughter is learning the song of Yaa Asantewaa at her daycare for a Black History performance. I'm so excited to learn about Yaa Asantewaa for the first time  with my daughter. Thank you for the post.
