Meet The Sankofa Literary Society
Sankofa is an Akan word that means, “We must go back and reclaim our past so we can move forward; so we understand why and how we came to be who we are today.” The symbol is based on a mythical bird that flies forwards with its head turned backwards. This reflects the Akan belief that the past serves as a guide for planning the future, or the wisdom in learning from the past, in building the future.
The Akan believe that there must be movement with the times, but as the forward march proceeds, the gems must be picked from behind and carried forward on the march. We give thanks to all those who helped us get to where we are today. This group “must go back and bring forth” all those who have a dream and are not afraid to work at seeing it in living color.
The Sankofa Literary Society and EDC Creations provides authors, artists, reviewers, journalist and book clubs, innovative website design advice, marketing and branding tips with a special focus on the African American literary community. We provide a venue, in the spirit of Sankofa, to showcase our newcomers and old friends in the literary world. The SLS was founded by Ella Curry, the owner of EDC Creations, to give back to the literary community the things she has learned while building her vast literary network.
