Queen Mother Idia Youth Tee

Before Idia was honored as Iyoba, Queen Mother, she was a strategist and healer who helped her son Oba Esigie secure the throne of the Benin Empire in the early 1500s. She organized troops, provided counsel in war, and became one of the most powerful women in West African history, so revered that her image was cast in bronze and ivory for generations after her death. This tee carries her name forward for the next generation. Made from the Comfort Colors Heavyweight, 100% ring spun cotton at 6.1 ounces, garment dyed for a soft, sturdy feel built to last through active days. A tribute to a queen who built a kingdom and protected it.
