While our mission is to add value to local resources by transforming them into high quality products that celebrate African art and culture.

Their unique wrapper designs and Adinkra symbols on the chocolate squares are two of the ways they pay homage to African art and culture.
In this wrapper we are shown the Adowa dancer. Adowa is a traditional Ghanaian dance of the Akan people, inspired by the movements of an antelope. It is danced during ceremonial occasions, like weddings, funerals, and other social and cultural events. This symbol is called Adinkrahene. Also in the picture is a chocolate square with the symbol of greatness, charisma and leadership.This symbol means Adinkrahene which translates to mean 'Adinkra King'
