About us: "AYA" the Adinkra symbol of endurance & resourcefulness are the symbols included on the Leaf of Life YOUTH RISING logo. They symbolize a fern which is an ancient hardy plant that can grow in difficult places. Reggae artist Leaf of Life, from the ghettos of Kingston Jamaica, knows the importance of having strength & being persistent. They are some of the qualities that helped him survive and go on to thriving so he can return to help the youth and give them the help he never had as a child.
