The Adinkra is a symbol called Nyansapo meaning wisdom, intelligence and patience. "A wisdom knot is untied only by the wise." Adinkra are visual symbols that represent concepts, proverbs, and aphorisms. They originated from the Gyaman people of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Back then, they featured as prints on cloth which royals wore to important ceremonies. Today, it signifies ancient knowledge.

The Okra is a staple in African American food to this day, in particular, Gumbo. The Okra is a nutritional powerhouse containing mucilage. I have the best memories as a kid, my grandma making me fresh bowl of Gumbo with okra in it, among rue, crab, and a bed of rice. Gumbo was a staple in New Orleans, Louisiana, where my grandma and family are from. Okra can support heart and brain health, and control blood sugar. It gives significance to African American herbal traditions and to healing black folks today.
