Our Symbol
Mframadan – “wind resistant house”
This is one of several “adinkra” symbols. The symbol stands for fortitude and readiness to face the vicissitudes of life.
"This symbol suggests a reinforced or well-built home - one built to withstand windy and treacherous conditions. It reflects in Asante history a clause in the unwritten constitution of the Golden Stool. Oral accounts say that according to that clause, mud houses in Kumasi must be reinforced with turf. This reinforcing would cause the house to be sturdier and resistant to unfavorable weather conditions."
- from The Adinkra Dictionary by W. Bruce Willis
We chose “Mframadan” to signify our strength in numbers and the fact that there is hope, so long as there is life.
