I Am a Dahomey Warrior is an evocative narrative poem that follows the gripping journey of a young heroin coming of age in precolonial West Africa. This vivid and eloquent story is based on a real tribe of female warriors whose fearlessness and prowess in battle have been likened to the mythical Greek Amazons for hundreds of years.

The Huntress pulled me closer, hugging me tightly. She looked down at me with dark piercing eyes and said, “None of this is your fault.” “Today you are only a child, and you did what you were able to do, survive!”

A Captivating Journey Unveiled: 'I am a Dahomey Wa

As an avid reader, I am always in search of stories that inspire me. "I am a Dahomey Warrior!" did just that. The audiobook version gave me a new perspective on the story. It was like seeing it come to life before my very eyes. The narrator, Blessyn Kure, did an excellent job bringing out the emotions in the story. I felt like I was right there with the characters.

Dionne, the author, has done an amazing job. Writing a compelling story is not an easy feat, but she has succeeded in doing just that. Her work is a testament to the power of storytelling.

Incredible - Leaves you hungry for More!

I am an avid audio book reader, and I absolutely loved this refreshing short power packed book. The author Dionne Hunter truly knows how to draw the reader in, and hold onto you. Many times I literally felt like I was going through the "warrior trials" with her. I could feel, see, and almost taste the emotions held within.

I truly need to have more from both this Author and this story.

Riveting writing and narration!

Let me start off by saying that I am the author of “I am a Dahomey Warrior!”
And I want to express my thanks to all that take the time to listen to my audiobook!
This is my first ever audible release but if I may say so myself “I am a Dahomey Warrior” is an action packed compelling short story,, And honestly each time I read the paperback version or hear the audio version I find myself cheering at some parts and later I find myself becoming emotional AND I wrote the book and know what’s going to happen.
I truly think you will love my audiobook.
And let me not forget the awesome narrator Blessyn Kure! She listened to my thoughts BUT was really able to make the story her own and also brings a unique prospective and voice since she is originally from the continent of Africa..
Also Blessyn did more than narrate she added the extraordinary yet subtle sound effects found within to the recording as well..
I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen!!
Please leave a review I will read each and every one of them!!
Thank you for all your support.., and please follow me so that you are alerted when the next story in the series lands…
