Originally known as a weaver, "Ananse is a character that can be anybody," said Paajoe Amissah-Aidoo of Ghana, West Africa. In the African folklore tradition, when a story is being told about someone's particular life, the name Ananse is used. In one way it protects one's anonymity, his or her selfless pride, or else keeps an ego from growing too large, especially if the story is of some great feat. In another way it serves as a reminder that we are all equal; Ananse, a single name to represent us all, an equal life for each and everyone.
