Description
Ayibobo – The Ancestral Amen
“Ayibobo” is more than a word — it’s a call that rises from the depths of Haitian history and faith. In Vodou tradition, it is an affirmation meaning “Amen” or “Hallelujah,” a response of power, gratitude, and reverence. This design places the Nèg Mawon — the Maroon freedom fighter — in prayer against the rising sun, creating a silhouette that embodies both defiance and devotion.
The Value of This Design
This is a wearable altar. The Nèg Mawon has long stood as a symbol of resistance, freedom, and unbreakable spirit. Combined with “Ayibobo,” it becomes a direct connection to the language of the ancestors and the heartbeat of Haiti’s revolutionary soul. Wearing it is an act of protection, pride, and spiritual grounding.
