Fawohodie Files

Fawohodie means “freedom” or “emancipation” in the Akan language of Ghana. It’s also an Adinkra symbol—a visual language used by the Akan people to express proverbs and cultural wisdom. This blog takes its name and inspiration from that symbol, honoring the responsibility that comes with freedom through stories, reflections, and historical truths rooted in the mission of Whitney Plantation.
