QUEEN KANJIMPA

Long ago, a landmass fragmented from West Africa, birthing an alluring archipelago of 88 palm-fringed tropical islands. Nestled just 48 kilometers from Guinea-Bissau's coast, this secluded realm remained a treasure unseen, guarding its autonomy and time-honored customs.

In this paradisiacal sanctuary, a matriarchal culture thrives. Women assume pivotal roles, steering society as decision-makers in law, household management, and even courtship. They hold the power to choose their spouses and end unions at their discretion.

Within the Bijago tribe, women are the family's guiding light, inheriting property and wielding economic independence.
This archipelago remained untouched by the colonial wave that swept over nearby lands, preserving its unique traditions.

Beneath the surface, an enigmatic journey unfolds. Women aspire to become queens, but the path is veiled in secrecy and steeped in tradition. The Bijago tribe's heart conceal the story of their rise to royalty; a testament to their enduring reign.
