What is Sankofa?
Sankofa is a Ghanian word from the Akan tribe that means “to go back and get”. Sankofa focuses on the importance of reaching back to our past and reclaiming our history so that we can move forward towards a more equitable future with a better understanding of how our community has been shaped.
