How it Works

"I believe that everyone has the power to initiate change, most importantly in the quiet corners of our hearts and then outwardly in our communities. It is with this intention I found myself thinking what could we at NOHO HOME do to add value to this movement towards understanding and change...

Now that I am manufacturing my own products, it is my honor and privilege to give another designer of color, and friend, a voice in this unique movement."

Conversations

This design is rooted in Adinkra symbols and inspired by African proverbs.

"The Stool" represents pulling up a seat and taking the time to express yourself and have meaningful and important conversations.

The cross motifs are a symbol of performing unusual or impossible acts.

The color black represents the Black Lives Matter movement, and the color white represents wealth, spirituality, and purity.

Change

This design is also rooted in Adinkra symbols.

The zigzag is a symbol of change and represents the forging of new paths and new directions.

The dual triangle shapes represent bravery and fearlessness, as displayed by warriors going to battle.
