7Adinkras:
A Collective 
of Creative Women

   7Adinkras is a collective of creative women who are media artists. Our mission is to live lives that are full of creative expression and to inspire, honor and encourage the creative expression of other women. 

   Our primary work is focused on writing, producing and directing documentaries. However, our creative projects include writing and publishing books and stage performances that are connected to our documentary projects. We visualize an empowering, collective, and creative journey that will greatly impact our creative lives and the lives of our viewing audiences. 

   The spirit of our work is embodied in our name—7Adinkras. Adinkras are unique symbols from the west coast of Africa, particularly Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. These symbols represent well-known proverbs, sayings, attitudes, spiritual beliefs and social thought. The foundation and intention of our work proudly rests upon the power and meaning of seven of these ancient symbols.
