The Captivating Story Behind Lily M’s Magical Logo“The Ankh”

Lily M is one of Ghana’s fast-rising Traditional/Afro pop musicians. As a strong advocate for humanity empowerment, She derives her inspiration from her African roots which also manifests in her style of fashion.

Besides her love for music and great fashion sense, Lily M is also an activist when it comes to women and children inculcating empowerment and liberation.Noted for hit song ‘Strength of a woman’ featuring Sherifa Gunu,Lily M believes women deserve better from the society and that can only be possible if they are empowered.

One can tell her stand on issues concerning women by taking a mere look at her career ( music) logo known as the ”the Ankh’’ .

The story behind the ‘Ankh’ is an interesting one. The ‘Ankh’ is an ancient Egyptian symbol known as the’’ key to life’’. It is a cross with a loop.

The ‘ankh’s association with the afterlife made it an especially potent symbol for the Egyptians in the 4th century who took it as their own. They use the ‘ankh’ as a symbol of everlasting life .

The ‘ankh’ represents the sun coming over the horizon, and life eternity.This association with the sun means that the ‘ankh’ is traditionally drawn in gold – the color of the sun – and never in silver, which relates to the moon.

Putting aside the complexities of these separate elements, though, what does the ‘ankh’ look like? Its resemblance to a key gives a clue to another meaning of this magical symbol.It is believed to represent the kemetic womb of mankind and eternal life.

Like the Ankh magical symbol,Lily M seeks to break the gap between the then afro pop style and the recent style. She believes she is the one to initiate the change the world has been waiting for. Oh yes, she is determined to be the key to authentic African music, a force to womanhood and mankind in general.

Music that never dies. Music that can awaken the souls of those who listen to it even after decades. Her songs should be able to inspire people and bring hope to the hopeless.

Born in real life as Mavis Akuamoah Boateng,Lily M who is currently out with her hit single track “Odo Dea’ featuring Okyeame Kwame expects her songs to have an everlasting impact on anyone that hears them.
