Are you tired of the media dictating what African culture is or is not about? Are you tired of the images of Africa that completely undermine the beauty and sanctity by which the continent upholds? Are you longing for connection to your African roots? Are you looking for an opportunity to create your own version of Africa while feeling free to do so without restrictions? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, this book is for you. If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, you are in the right place. "Akwaaba" means "welcome" in Twi, the native language of the Akan people in Ghana, West Africa. I welcome you to this African inspired Adult Coloring Book. This book contains 100 individual images of different representations of the various countries in Africa. Through the intricate patterns, diverse representations of the people, the collection of masks, and/or the calmness of nature, each page is filled with inspiration that will connect the artist to the continent in their own, personal, way. Adult coloring has many benefits. Some of them include: meditation, reduction in stress and anxiety levels, reducing negative thoughts, and practicing mindfulness. Hence, while becoming empowered to recreate your own African experience, you, the artist, are permitted to reap the benefits of self-care. Finally! You have the opportunity to recreate whatever representation of Africa you wish, all while establishing wellness in your life. I hope you enjoy the journey. Akwaaba!!!
