Her name was Tituba, yes she was from Guyana later trafficked to Barbados and taken to Salem by Samuel Parris but she was never burned, she was the first woman accused in Salem and was one of the only ones who lived because she outsmarted them all. She escaped with her husband John and lived a long life

@labrujxnegra The Crucible is still one of my favorites from school
@labrujxnegra ( Tit-chu-ba ) a very beautiful name. Rolls off the tongue 👅
@labrujxnegra My Cuban mom was a set designer for the play, and she was asked to play Tituba in college because she was “ethnic looking.” She thinks it’s sort of funny now, but at the time she thought it was racist as hell. She did it though, even though she wasn’t an actress.
@labrujxnegra There was a show called Salem and there was a witch named Tituba but I had no idea it was based on a real person!
