  • Born an African princess, Anna Madgigine Jai Kingsley lived the majority of her life as slave, then slaveowner after sold as a child. As she grew to hold the confidence and admiration of the man she would call both Master and Husband, she earned her freedom and land of her own. Navigating the turbulent times of early 1800s Spanish Florida, she saw her life burn to the ground multiple times - once, she held the match herself. Always, she found a way to survive. Always, she found a way to thrive.

    Greetings, u narrated it well. And I agree, indeed we ALL have a story that may not ever be read about in books, videos, or movies. Thanks.

    I am doing a journal on this subject and a video. Your material is on target. Thank you for this information and a good reporting on it. I am still working on my own narration skills. I so hate the sound of my voice on film. lol

    “ he was , at the time of his first meeting Anta , 33 years old . 30 years older than the girl he was about to buy” .. this may be a mis narration considering that would then make Anta 3 years old when in fact she was about 13 . I would assume he was 43 perhaps ?

      Yes, I'm learning and a Volunteer Park Ranger at the Kingsley Plantation to which 42 is the interpretation. I so appreciate and enjoyed this compilation of her life.

    Kingsley was 20 years her senior not 30. "He was not a good man". Taking much liberty in this narration. Perhaps a work of fiction.
