Experience Sankofa online!

Didn't get to attend one of the Sankofa shows during our US Tour? We'd love to share a glimpse of these remarkable events with you.

You can watch the show online thanks to Forest Hill Church, our hosts in Charlotte, NC. Check it out at: http://foresthill.lightcastmedia.com/console.php?u=3037&c=697757024.
Note: Due to a technical glitch, the narration pieces before each of the three sections of the show are not included in this recording.

Also, here are a few photos of the DC event, courtesy of Jillian Pichocki Photography (www.jillianpichocki.com).

Looking Back. Walking Forward.


Thank you to everyone who attended and supported Amani's Sankofa US Tour!

We were amazed by the warm welcome that the team received in Orlando, Dallas, Charlotte, and Washington. The tour was a busy two weeks of shared stories, new experiences, incredible shows, and lots of food and hospitality.

All ten women from Kenya, Rwanda, and Burundi have safely returned home. The sign pictured here shows the sign that welcomed the team back to the Nairobi center.

Also, Zoe Sandvig of Prison Fellowship attended the DC area Sankofa event on October 17th. She wrote about her experience for The Point. Check it out here.

Thanks again for joining us in this journey to look to the past and walk to the future!
