Ep 57 - Omoba Aina aka Sarah Forbes Bonetta, Queen Victoria's black goddaughter

We unearth the story of Queen Victoria's black goddaughter, Omoba Aina, and how she came to be under the Queen's protection. How did this orphaned Yoruban child make her way to London and into the court of the Queen, and how did her relationship with the Queen impact her life and that of her children as well. Will it all end happily? Find out in this week's episode.

Show notes and pictures of everything we speak about here.

Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal, and we spin the Wheel of Destiny to find out where we are going next.
