If my hair could speak
Akoma's Story powerfully conveyed to my boys the importance of asserting boundaries. It taught them that it's perfectly acceptable to refuse when others want to touch their hair." - Jen Martens, OMAKA Natural Cosmetics
The 7-year-old Akoma lives with her parents in a small town near Hamburg. In Twi, a language spoken in Ghana, Akoma means “heart.” Often, Akoma’s father tells her, “With your Akoma, the world is open to you.” However, Akoma’s big heart reaches its limits when strangers touch her hair without asking.
