Why Sankofa - Because we need to Reclaim our Culture & Teach our youths the way it use to be done, so they can have a better understand of the future.

The concept of SANKOFA literally translated mean "it is not taboo to go back and fetch
what you forgot".

"Sankofa" teaches us that we must go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of what our past has to teach us, so that we can achieve our full potential as we move forward. Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone or been stripped of, can be reclaimed, revived, preserved and perpetuated.
