Ahoy, my friends! Welcome aboard the Afro Tales podcast. Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of Indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean. Today, we delve into the powerful and inspiring tale of Pohaha, a fierce and independent young woman from the Tewa people along the Rio Grande. In a world where women were expected to conform to traditional roles, Pohaha defied norms with her warrior spirit and unwavering courage. Her journey from a rebellious girl to a revered war chief reveals the strength of individuality and the power of embracing one's true self. Join us as we explore Pohaha's story, from her defiant dances to her brave leadership against raiding tribes. Discover how her courage and determination earned her the respect and admiration of her people, leading her to become a legendary figure in Pueblo history. Pohaha's legacy continues to inspire, reminding us of the importance of protecting our land and embracing our unique identities. Book: Cut from the same Cloth By: Robert De Souci After the stories, join Chef as he shares a delectable recipe inspired by the tales: Asopao de Camarones (Shrimp and Rice Stew). This delightful dish brings the flavors of Puerto Rico to your kitchen, perfect for enjoying while pondering Juan Bobo's adventures.
