Workbook
For Ghanaian (American) Families
A Workbook on Sankofa, Homecoming, and the Identity Between the Country You Left and the One You're Building
Sankofa teaches: go back and fetch it. Your Ghana is a country you carry.
For the Ghanaian American family navigating identity across two countries — parents teaching cultural transmission across distance, children between Ghana and America, and anyone carrying the work of belonging in both places.
The Name It First Experience
You came from Ghana or your parents did. You send money home. Your children have grandparents they see every other year. You speak Twi at home and English at school. The Sankofa Family Accord anchors families in Sankofa as a framework for integration — not nostalgia. You explore your family's specific relationship to Ghana, examine the unspoken rules around cultural preservation, and build intentional practices for transmitting heritage. The output is a signed family document. Stress-tested and signed.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you call the feeling of being in America while knowing your family is in Ghana — the one that doesn't have a single word for itself?
- What gets lost between generations in your family — language, ritual, relationship — and what do you do when you notice the loss?
- What would The Sankofa Family Accord say about how your family holds both Ghana and America — not as competing loyalties, but as the whole of who you are?
Research basis
