Sankofa Community Strategists, LLC. is an agency that uses history and healing centered engagement to disrupt structural inequality within the State of Arkansas. We do this by centering the narratives and experiences of individuals and communities who have been historically disenfranchised, using this base of knowledge to build sustainable solutions alongside those affected. Through our educational programming, community conversations, and issue-based summits, we activate communities to become agents of change and inter-generational progress.
