African legends tell of a woman called Akua who wished strongly to have a child. To make her wish come true, a priest ordered her to carry a little wooden baby, resulting in the mockery of her neighbors.

Inspired by this story, Akoma of West Africa handcrafts a fertility doll from sese wood, hoping to carry Akua's resilience to every corner of the world.
