One must return to the past
in order to move forward
Here in Sankofa...
Connect, Share, Build and Empower our community, also bring healing to those in need...
Through the vibration and beauty of African arts & culture, the association is a place to nourish the understanding of harmany and unification, both inwardly within an individual and outwardly as a collective.
SANKOFA is a sacred ancestral term meaning ‘to retrieve’ in the Akan Twi language. The Akan Tribe is part of the larger Ashanti group of people from West Africa.
“se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi”
which when translated means:
“We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward -
So we understand Why and How we came to be who we are today.”
