Looking at the world of macro level economics through the lens of African working women

Our name is the Nawi Afrifem Collective. Most who know us, call us Nawi. Nawi is the name of the last known survivor of the N'Nonmiton who died in 1979 at over 100 years old. The N'Nonmiton were a group of women soldiers who protected the Kingdom of Dahomey from attack and French colonization. N'Nonmiton means our mothers. In Turkana, a language spoken by a community in Kenya, Nawi means home.
