Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast, where we set sail into the rich tapestry of stories from Indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean. In this episode, we find ourselves in Africa in 1815, where we bring to life the poignant tale of Minna, a young girl who dreams of freedom. Experience Minna's journey from her happy days in Africa to the harrowing trials of slavery in America. Discover how her children found different paths to freedom, each embodying resilience and hope.
