    About this ebook

    Mya is a story of an African princess and her mother sold into slavery by her father. It depicts the story of slavery through the eyes of a slave girl, who encountered a hierarchy of slavery due to her position in the slave community.

    Oppression to Progression for Black Women in the West Indian Slave Trade is a story of fiction but is based on facts. It shows how women were treated by their own people and how they were treated in slavery. People appear to have forgotten about West Indian slave trade, and so I thought it was about time to enlighten them to what women especially had to endure.

    Sandra Maddix

    Sandra Maddix was born and raised in Neasden, North West London, in 1966. She has a mixed cultural/religious background and grew up in a dominant matriarchal home. Her main belief in life is that knowledge in any form or direction is power; hence she has many qualifications, including architecture, under her belt. Suffice to say writing has always been her passion. Unlike most, she has lived a far from quiet life that gets reanimated through her writing, which does not leave a lot to the imagination. Overall, Sandra has faith in people and life, belief in humanity and all it stands for, morals, values, faith, and respect for life. Anything is possible.
