Titina Silá
Guinean woman who fought for her country's freedom
Born in Tombali (Guinea-Bissau) in 1943, Ernestina "Titina" Silá was a young African woman who chose to fight for her country, against the Portuguese colonial empire. Alongside AmĂlcar Cabral, also known as Abel Djassi, who was the leader of the fight for the independence of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, Titina proved her power, intelligence and resistance. She is considered one of the greatest inspirations for the Guinean and Cape-Verdean women. Although her history and impact was hided from the history books made by the colonial empire, the legacy of Silá is very important! African youth today is searching for answers and knowledge, in order to get inspired more and more, bringing the history of their ancestors to the light and getting empowered by them.
