Take a QUICK read about Adbaraya Toya she is celebrated as one of the bravest women in Haitian history!
Adbaraya Toya is celebrated as one of the bravest women in Haitian history
for her great influence on the many that fought in the Haitian Revolution.
Popularly known as Victoria Montou in Haiti, a name she is believed to have
been given after arriving in Haiti from Africa to work as a slave like the many
other Africans who were forced out of their lands into the new world.
Adbaraya Toya was abducted from the Dahomey Empire which is now modern Benin.
Several sources indicate that before her abduction, Adbaraya was a soldier and member of the council of women in the Kingdom. She was also a healer.

Dahomey Amazons
Her high position in the Dahomey Kingdom as a member of the women’s council
and soldier suggests that Adbaraya Toya was a member of the warrior group
Dahomey Amazons which fought to protect the Dahomey kingdom. The Dahomey
warriors were traditionally called the N’Nonmiton, which means “our mothers”
in Fon, the language of the Fon people of Dahomey, now in present-day Benin.
Some European historians and observers called them the Dahomey Amazons as they
reminded them of the mystical and powerful all-women’s army called Amazons in
Greek mythology.
Aside from fighting in wars, the Dahomey warriors also protected the King and his
royal court while serving as healers and “mothers” to all.
It is possible that Adbaraya was abducted during a battle or raid and sold into
slavery in Haiti where she was given the name Victoria, a name which means to
conquer, giving more evidence to her Dahomey Amazon roots.
Adbaraya Toya worked on the Cormier Sugar Plantation and became very close friends with Marie Elisabeth who was the mother of Jean Jacques Dessalines and entrusted her son into Adbaraya’s care before she died. Jean Jacques
referred to Adbaraya as aunty which would make many believe that he was really
related to her. However, while Adbaraya comes from present-day Benin, Jean
Jacques traces his roots to Guinea.
Adbaraya taught Jean Jacques how to fight as a soldier. She taught him skills
such as hand-to-hand combat and how to throw a knife as well as physical
maneuvers to defend himself in battle. Adbaraya also spent her free time
healing wounded workers on the plantation and offering food to the sick.
Her training helped Jean Jacques rise among the enslaved on the plantation
and eventually made him join the 1791 slave rebellion.
After gaining her freedom through the rebellion, Adbaraya set up an indigenous army to support the revolution. Despite being very old at the
time of the Haiti Revolution which was being led by Jean Jacques, Adbaraya trained and led her troop to fight and was made the leader of the military by Jean Jacques Dessalines.
In her last battle, it is said that she fought off three soldiers and was
severely wounded. Adbaraya lived long enough to witness Jean Jacques proclaim
Haiti’s independence and lived in Jean Jacques Dessalines’ house where she
was taken care of until she passed away in 1805.
After her death, a state funeral was held in her honor and she was celebrated
as the mother of Haiti’s independence.

WHEN YOU LEVEL UP AND CHANGE EVERYTHING AROUND YOU CHANGES!
Yes, that is me in the middle if you were wondering. I didn't realize that I was actually that heavy until I looked at the picture again a few months ago!! That is me almost 2 years ago. People ask me how did I lose all that weight? Well, the truth is that I worked closely with Oshun and did rituals for myself to get the results I wanted, I decided to use my gift for myself. I just decided that I wanted to make some changes in my life and wanted to get healthy again. Also, I had a health scare where I was having to take high blood pressure medication. I know that runs in my family's bloodline and diabetes. I have seen family die of this disease in my family and lose limbs! I just decided that wasn't going to be me and I would have to make some serious changes and I went home and cried out to Oshun and God to help me gain control of my life again. I started making small changes and just got up one day and started walking. I would talk to Oshun and she promised to guide me in the right direction because I was truly ready and I wanted to live my life free from stress and able to enjoy the many blessings that she and Damballah had blessed me with and I wanted to be able to enjoy everything. My cries and prayers were answered and the first thing I did was take time away from the internet because it was becoming so toxic for me. I was being harassed and stalked. My ex and I at the time decided it was time for me to get away for a while. Much was revealed to me and I would say that certain gifts I have became stronger and also Oshun sent many ancestors and spirits my way to protect me cause through the vision she gave me she showed me that I have much more work to do and that I am needed here on this planet and to focus on what I am doing and no one else and everything else would be taken care of. I also see a vision of all the spirits and guides that are protecting me and it was shocking. In the vision, it literally looked like an army of people outside my house. During this time I also got a stronger connection with my Eshu and when people come into my home. They show me visions and tell me things about people I know their intentions right away. I was also taught to be still and quiet and they will do the dirty work.
Of course, I have been eating healthy as much as I can and working out. I don't drink and I don't smoke...tobacco lolol. All in all I can say that my clientele has also changed...for the better and many doors of opportunity has opened for me, I am so humble and thankful!!! Ase!!!
