The famous FAWOHODIE adinkra symbol stands for independence. It can also mean freedom and emancipation.

It comes from the expression: Fawodhodie ene obre na enam.
Literal translation: “Independence comes with its responsibilities.”

African symbols known as adinkra are ubiquitous in Ghana in West African. On cloth and walls, in pottery and logos, these Asante tribe symbols can be found everywhere.  Over time the Asante further developed adinkra symbology, incorporating their own philosophies, folk-tales and culture.
