Sankofa is an organization dedicated to helping women and children from disenfranchised communities with unequal access to wellness resources. Our mission is represented by the Sankofa bird, a species known to look backward. Tying into an African philosophy that translates to “go back and retrieve,” the Sankofa movement encourages people to spread knowledge and resources to ensure that nobody is left behind.
We are driven by our passion for spreading equity, access, and education and the belief that it is vital and necessary to reach, teach, and free those who have felt the weight of oppression, poverty, and trauma. Through psychoeducation, somatic movements, and other alternative holistic practices such as yoga and meditation, we strive to empower and support communities to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to liberate themselves.
