Enslaved woman. Confessed witch. A catalyst of the Salem Witch Trials. Tituba is perhaps one of the most well-known figures of 1692 Salem. She is also one whose story is often misconstrued and misunderstood. Let's talk about where she comes from, her likely origins, her time in Barbados, and her role in the lives of young Betty and Abigail. We'll conclude Tituba's story in two weeks!
**TW: In this episode we discuss sensitive topics such as slavery and racism.
