The Sankofa Convening

Legacy. Liberation. Leadership.

"If the future doesn’t come toward you, you have to go fetch

The Sankofa Convening is an annual, multi-city leadership retreat series for justice-oriented changemakers across the African diaspora. Designed to restore the spirit and sharpen the strategy of today’s visionary leaders, this convening is a return—to ancestral wisdom, to intention, to truth, and to the power of community.

This is not a conference. It is a reclamation. A space for deep reflection, cultural restoration, and strategic clarity.

Who It’s For

  • Nonprofit & organizational leaders
  • BIPOC educators, artists, and cultural workers
  • Community builders, founders, coaches, and healers
  • Leaders navigating the tension between legacy and innovation

What to Expect

Each convening is rooted in three pillars:

Legacy

Reclaim cultural grounding and ancestral wisdom as leadership tools.

Liberation

Embrace healing, rest, and release as necessary practices for sustainability.

Leadership

Engage in peer-led strategy sessions and alignment work for personal and organizational growth.

Multi-City Journey


Carefully selected cities that offer cultural richness.
