Great Day mi gente! Today is #Day3 of#BlackHistoryMonth. My #earringswithmeaningspair were bought in Wilmington, Delaware at a commemoration of Bob Marley concert that I performed at. It was a super special event because we opened up for KRS1. This concert is held there every year because it is the first place where Bob lived in the U.S., his first American home. The Peoples' Festival is off the chain. Highly recommended. I got these in one of the little booths at the festival. There are soooo many dope vendors. This opportunity came through because of my friends at Guerrilla Republic. Awesome.
The meaning of these earrings for me is powerful. I wear them when I want to go back to the MotherLand Africa. When I want to disconnect from this defeating and depressing city life.
These earrings have super powers. Lol. No fa real tho!
Read on:
"Adinkra symbolism is a visual representation of social thought relating to the history, philosophy and religious beliefs of the Akan peoples of Ghana and Cote' d'Ivoire" defined Dr. Kwaku Ofori-Ansa.
This Adinkra is called GYE NAME
"except for God" symbol of the supremacy of God or I fear none but GOD.
This unique and beautiful symbol is ubiquitous in Ghana. It is by far the most popular for use in decoration, a reflection on the deeply religious character of the Ghanaian people.
Today will be a great day. Superman wears a cape and I wear my Adinkras.
