Order. An African Wisdom Manifesto is a compilation of African proverbs passed on from generation to generation. Situations often arise that permanently alter the direction our lives, depending upon how we respond to them. The proverbs in this manifesto are intended to unlock key concepts for our emotional and spiritual growth, and provide the wisdom we need to choose wisely. Each page of this journal begins with one African proverb to ponder and the space for the reader to express whatever thoughts come to mind. These proverbs are meant to be revisited over time. The reader may find it useful to write the date beside each response and compare your early understandings of the proverbs to new and deeper perspectives you may experience on future readings.
