At Sankofa, we envision a world where black birthing people are able to actualize full liberation through sisterhood, sexual wellness, education, and ancestral practices of intuitive care work.
We are creating a sacred space that centers Black families.
Our Blackness is inclusive and intersectional of gender, sexuality, disability, class, nationality, religion and geographic origin.
Reaching Forward, Giving Back
Sankofa is a twi work from the Akan people of Ghana which means “go back and get it”.
The Sankofa Healing Center operates to reclaim the sacred practices of our ancestors that liberate and heal individuals and their families. We believe that generational healing across the reproductive timeline is possible.
Sankofa Healing is about returning to practices of birth and parenting that sustain and nourish families. We are intentional about maternal and reproductive healing that center individuals while honoring intuition, personal power and love.
