CONNECTING THOSE...CONNECTED!!! ^TM

The symbol above is known as an Akoben meaning "War Horn"
~ It is one of the many Adinkra symbols of the Gyaman and Akan peoples of West Africa.
~ It represents "A Summon to Collecive Action and Voluntarism", is also "A Symbol of Vigilance and Wariness" and as we believe it signifies"Call to Duty for One's Cultures".
