Dwenini Mmen
Dwenini Mmen is an artistic representation of an Adinkra symbol from Ghana Africa. Its direct interpretation is 'ram's horns'. The saying that accompanies this symbol is "Donnin ye asise a ode n'akorana na ennye ne mben." This is said to mean: "It is the heart and not the horns that leads a ram to bully." Or, "Dwenini ye asisie a ode nakoma na ennye ne mmen -- The ram may bully, not with its horns but with its heart." It is a metaphor suggesting one mix humility with strength.

She
"She" is an image that emerged as an ode to Freda Kahlo. While looking at her art I had a sense of the hardship she endured and, coincidently enough, this image emerged as a symbol of taking away of all her pain. I adore "She." She has a sense of power and protectiveness all her own. The type of pain her symbol heals is especially focused on women who are abused, but "She" reaches into vast regions, beyond just that type of oppression. "She" is born Goddess and High Priestess for those who understand.
