Aya’s Q&A

Her earthSista name is Aya…

The symbol on the right is the Adinkra Art symbol for Aya. Originally from Ghana, West Africa and its represented by the plant, the “Fern.” It means one who has endured much, is resourceful, and has overcome many adversities and obstacles in their life. The earthSista wears her name well. She ” is ‘One Who Sees the Light of Divine Order’…an ever-unfolding and ever-evolving life journey of mine, I give thanks to the Creator!” Aya says she is passionate, loyal and honest. The beautiful free-spirit is natural and down-to-earth. She calls herself a “health conscious, raw vegan.” And while she has become quite busy of late with film enterprises that she is pursuing now, a while back we had a Q&A with this intelligent earthSista.
