Her name is Solitude! She was born around 1772 in Guadeloupe. Her mother was an enslaved African woman, rap£d by a white sailor on a ship transporting kidnapped Africans. Solitude was born of that vi0lence, with lighter skin than her mother. She grew up enslaved, then escaped to live among the maroons—communities of Africans living in the mountains who had escaped enslavement.

By 1794, the French Revolution had abolished slav£ry in islands in the French Caribbean and Solitude tasted freedom for the first time. Then Napoleon Bonaparte came to power. In 1802, he sent General Richepanse to Guadeloupe to restore colonial rule and reinstate slav£ry. The rebels, led by Louis Delgrès and Joseph Ignace, refused to submit.

Solitude joined them. She was pregnant, months away from giving birth. She took up arms anyway. She fought in the battles against the French troops. She was wounded, captured, and condemned to death.

Her ex£cution was delayed. The colonists wanted to keep her child she was pregnant with. They waited until she gave birth. On November 28, 1802, she delivered a son. The next day, she was lynched and her son sold at auction to the highest bidder.

Solitude became a legend. For over a century, her story survived in oral tradition. In 1972, the writer André Schwarz-Bart published a novel about her life. In 1999, a statue was erected in her honor in Les Abymes, Guadeloupe. In 2022, another statue was unveiled in Paris—the first statue of a Black woman in the city.

She fought for a freedom she barely had time to live. She gave her life so her child, and others, might have a chance at it.

Did you know African healers were performing safe caesarean sections long before they became routine in Europe and America?

In 1879, a Scottish medical student named Robert Felkin watched an indigenous surgeon in the Bunyoro Kingdom, in modern-day Uganda, deliver a baby by C-section and save both mother and child.

The surgeon used banana w**e to sedate the patient and to clean his hands and instruments, closing the wound with iron pins and a herbal root paste; within 11 days, the mother had fully healed.

At the time, caesareans in Europe were almost a death sentence due to infection, yet Felkin found the procedure was a well-established, routine practice among Bunyoro healers.

Africans also practised variolation, an early form of smallpox inoculation, with an enslaved African named Onesimus later introducing the life-saving technique to America, underlining Africa's deep roots in modern medicine.
