Aya - The Fern

A West African Adinkra symbol representing defiance, endurance, and resourcefulness.

The fern is a hardy plant that can grow in difficult places. "An individual who wears this symbol suggests that (s)he has endured many adversities and outlasted much difficulty." (Willis, The Adinkra Dictionary)

Aya Coffee + Books is a place that transforms lives and communities by cultivating culture and connections through beverages + books.
