A: The symbol at the top of the logo is a Ghanaian Adinkra symbol named "FAWOHODIE." This translates loosely to mean emancipation, freedom, or independence. However, it is also with this understanding that with autonomy comes responsibility. We chose this symbol because while we all would like to have as much independence as possible for ourselves and our loved ones, we also understand that there is a responsibility that comes along with that. We take that responsibility very seriously. We recognize that we are not only empowering individuals to live their lives as freely as they would like, but there is also a social responsibility to ensure these individuals' safety and well-being while helping them break the barriers that previously stood in their way. And finally, a circle, encompassing it all together. We chose the circle because it surrounds us all, brings us all together, and reminds us that we are all in this as one.
We were very deliberate in the choosing of our logo, and every member of the Beyond team upholds the meaning behind it and our motto:
Building Bridges, Breaking Barriers, Going BEYOND!
