Learn about Akoma Day. The Akoma means “heart,” and it is a symbol of love, goodwill, patience, faithfulness, fondness, endurance, and consistency. The Akoma is one of many West African Adinkra symbols. 
Nya Akoma (pronounced N yah Ah coma) is the greeting for Akoma Day, also known as Black Love Day, which means get a heart, be patient, return to love. Black Love Day was founded by Ms. Ayo Handy-Kendy, affectionately known as Mama Ayo, in 1993. In 2001, Montsho and Nwasha Edu expanded on the original tenets and purpose to become an international cultural holiday rooted in African spirituality. Akoma Day is a cultural and spiritual alternative to Valentine's Day. The focus of Akoma Day is the intimate relationship and how that relationship creates family, neighborhood, community and nationhoods. Stop by for a good time! Enjoy the music, a dance contest, photo booth, games, a dessert bar, and simply celebrate the day with lots of sweetness! Brought to you by the Lions in Motion Spring Fling Planning Dance Team and the All-Black Student Alliance. All students welcome!
