Everyone involved in the Sankofa Sessions are very passionate and inspired to be a part of changing the culture and history of the lives of our young people.  We want to be the change that makes a difference. It takes a village.  We have a large community of dedicated educators, artists, healers and practitioners who are at and of service in the spirit of Sankofa.  We are currently  developing a Sankofa Heritage Center that will encompass high education, social enterprise solutions, technology, media development health and wellness while preserving arts, culture and history.
