Moremi of Ile-Ife Heritage Tee

Queen. Spy. Liberator. The Woman Who Brought Fire to the Darkness.

$40.00

Queen Moremi Ajasoro walked into enemy territory on purpose. When the Ugbo raiders terrorized Ile-Ife for years, hiding behind raffia disguises and claiming to be spirits, Moremi made a vow at the sacred Esimirin River, let herself be captured, infiltrated the enemy kingdom, and uncovered the one secret that would set her people free. She brought the truth home. The warriors lit their torches. And the "spirits" burned. This heritage portrait tee honors the queen who sacrificed everything so a nation could stand. Featuring a bold illustrated portrait with crossed flaming torches, gold mandala halo, and cowrie shell braids in the OyaRoots Diaspora Queens tradition. Available in white and vintage white.
