Creation

This collection is brought to you by the Sankofa Journey Cultural Reconnection Initiative, curated by The Sankofa Journey curators to inspire a deeper connection to Afrikan=Black heritage. Whether you are drawn to it because it is fun, trendy, cultural, or simply novel, this initiative is for everyone.

What better way to explore your ancestry than through engaging avatars that make cultural discovery exciting and accessible? Often, reconnecting with history can be an emotional journey, but fun avatars offer a refreshing way to embrace something that was once associated with painful memories.

For many, reconnecting with Ghanaian heritage is a transformative experience. Whether it’s learning about the deep meanings behind Akan day names, embracing cultural symbols, or finding new ways to express ancestral identity, there are countless ways to rediscover a meaningful connection to the past. From those who travel on Ghana cultural tours to those who immerse themselves in history through storytelling and art, the desire to reclaim, reconnect, and rediscover is universal.

Renowned psychologist Okuninibaa (Dr.) Mawiyah Kambon shares that, “When I started the Sankofa Journey in 1998, it was because I recognized that being stripped of our names, clothes, and languages was not just an attempt to erase our past—it was an effort to sever us from our very essence. The first step to reconnection is reclaiming our names, and through that, reclaiming ourselves.”

As Obenfo (Professor) Obadele Kambon, master linguist and architect of the Abibitumi.com Afrikan=Black social education network and founder of RepatriatetoGhana.com puts it:

"Language is the foundation of thought, and our names are the foundation of our existence. The moment we reclaim our names, we begin the process of reclaiming our minds."
