Symbols of Power: Adinkras and the Nature of Reality

This adinkra is called “nea onnim no sua a, ohu,” which translates as “he who does not know can become knowledgeable through learning.”

@Dontae Mears's tattoo: "I got this adinkra symbol on my right arm on the day I turned 18. Adinkra are visual symbols that represent concepts, and this one means, “he who doesn’t know, can know from learning.” It represents my continued quest for knowledge and my passion for learning. I’m always challenging myself and I refuse to settle."
