What's the 411? Why You’ll Love This

Adinkra symbols are used in Ghana on cloth and architecture, just to name a few. We’ve selected seven Adinkra symbols, which create powerful affirmations, for you to wear proudly. Each symbol stands for a positive expression or proverb. We opted for a simple black tee to boldly display each symbol down the back of the shirt. Wear this tee proudly as a reminder to affirm greatness into your life. See the chart of Adinkra symbols with meanings below. 


  • Choose Ladies Fit for a slimmer form-fitting silhouette
  • Choose Unisex Fit for a relaxed, more forgiving fit. Also great if you like altering your tees.
