Our name is the Nawi Afrifem Collective.
Most who know us, call us Nawi.
Nawi is the name of the last known survivor of the N'Nonmiton who died in 1979 at over 100 years old.
The N'Nonmiton were a group of women soldiers who protected the Kingdom of Dahomey from attack and French colonization.
N'Nonmiton means "our mothers".
The name Nawi also has a separate meaning in Ng'aturkana, a language spoken by the Turkana community in northwestern Kenya, where it means "home."
