"Born in West Africa, Adbaraya Toya was one of Dahomey's legendary female warriors. Kidnapped and sold into slavery in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, she became a healer and an authority figure for the enslaved. Among the motherless children she helped raise was the revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines. When the enslaved people rose up, Toya was at the forefront of the rebellion that changed the course of history.

Falling in love with Jean-Jacques Dessalines, an enslaved man, was never the plan, yet their paths continued to cross and intertwine.
