The Legacy Necklace

The Legacy Necklace is a story of initiation and belonging, traditionally told before rites of passage for children transitioning into young adulthood. Originating from Africa, this powerful tale has traveled far to reach us. From the moment I first encountered it, I knew it would be a lifelong companion. However, this story does not come from a specific region in Africa. Given the continent’s immense richness in languages, dialects, and traditions, it’s important to recognize that this story represents just one thread in the vast and diverse tapestry of African wisdom.
