Culture cannot be preserved
with one voice alone.

We are Adwoa and Solomon, the storytellers, artists and creative couple behind Adeche Atelier. We created Adeche from a shared passion for African mythology, folklore and culture, and a desire to help more people discover the richness of these stories while challenging misconceptions about the continent, its cultures and its spiritual traditions.

Together, we research and reimagine stories from across the African continent and diaspora through collaborative paintings, social media, talks and workshops. We paint every artwork together on the same canvas, combining our individual skills to create one shared piece.

Our work is rooted in curiosity, and the belief that these stories should remain accessible. Through everything we create, we hope to encourage people to explore the continent more deeply and help pass these stories on to future generations.

Hi, I’m Simisola, a cultural educator exploring African thought, culture, and philosophy through content rooted in literature and research. My degree in Comparative Literature opened my eyes to the depth and diversity of Africa: its histories, traditions, languages, and the kaleidoscopic nature of African philosophy.

I am also a primary educator, and the classroom keeps me grounded in the joy and responsibility of nourishing young minds. My work as a cultural educator on social media grows from that same purpose. I continue learning so I can share rich, truthful stories that keep the past alive and help shape a brighter future.

Ebonie Kibalya is a Ugandan-Australian journalist, content creator, and model passionate about amplifying the many voices and experiences of African women and girls. Having grown up across Uganda, Sudan, Côte d’Ivoire, New York, and Australia, her perspective is shaped by life both on the continent and its diaspora. She completed her undergrad in Journalism and International relations with a specific focus on how gender shapes the African continent.

Today, she explores history and culture with African women in the centre through Women’s Afrika. At a young age, she realised that women often live in a very different Africa - one that comes with its own specific challenges and joys. Her work is about creating a digital home for those realities to be voiced and heard.

I am a creative and aspiring scholar from the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C.). I was born and raised on the Atlantic coast of Central Africa, in the province of Kongo-Central, the largest hub of BaKongo culture and people, to whom I ethnically belong. For the past two years, I have been living in the U.S.A. to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and African & African American Studies. I am passionate about media and contemporary culture, post-colonial thought, the arts, and literature, and I bring it all together through content creation.
