I discovered two fascinating narratives as I delved into my research about Madam Yoko, often called Mammie Yoko. The first narrative immediately drew me in. It was supported by solid evidence, each detail painting a vivid picture in my mind. The characters were complex and intriguing, their motivations and actions shrouded in good old Sierra Leonean mystery. I could almost smell the musty pages of the ancient texts and felt the weight of the evidence on my proverbial shoulders.

When you step back and look at it, Caucasian history is overflowing with thousands of years of ethological based ferocity…
