san·ko·fa
Sankofa is a Ghanaian word which means "it is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” The word is a combination of the words: san (return), ko (go), fa (seek and take).
“Sankofa” teaches us to go back to our roots in order to move forward. That is, we should reach back and gather the best of our past so that we can achieve our full potential to move forward.
Whatever we have lost, forgotten, forgone, or been stripped of can be reclaimed, revived, preserved, and perpetuated. Visually and symbolically, “Sankofa” is expressed as a bird that flies forward while looking backward with an egg (symbolizing the future) in its mouth.
Sankofa Edition™ is an expression of this mantra and provides a way for everyone to express their affinity for African culture.
