Haiti Inter has produced an interesting video on an East African woman who ended up in Saint Domingue. Her prominent descendants include President Légitime. Intriguingly, a descendant of Testas who wrote a book about her enslaved ancestor is also featured in the video. Unfortunately, they do not really get into the nitty gritty of her East African origins (was she really from Adal?) but still a well-made video exemplifying history and genealogy revealing something of our African origins.
