Queen Nanny is a Jamaican national hero! She was the spiritual, cultural and military leader of the Maroons during the 1700’s. The Maroons were African people who escaped from slavery and lived as a community in mountainous areas of Jamaica.

Queen Nanny was born in Ghana, West Africa, around 1685. She was said to be a part of the Asante people. She was captured with her brothers and was brought to Jamaica as part of the Atlantic Slave Trade. 

Queen Nanny soon formed a rebellion and fled into the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, with four of her brothers. Queen Nanny and her brothers formed one of the first Maroon groups; who went on to defeat the British Army and were granted freedom and their own land in Jamaica.
