Our Focus Areas

Community Wellness

At Sankofa Wellness, we believe healing is collective. Our community wellness work centers on reconnecting with the land, with each other, and with the wisdom passed down through our lineages. Through seasonal gatherings, land-based healing, and accessible wellness practices, we create spaces where rest, joy, and resilience can grow. These offerings are rooted in cultural care, designed to support Black, Indigenous, and people of color in finding balance and belonging in their wellness journey.

Birthing Justice

We believe that wellness is a collective journey. Our work centers on creating spaces where individuals can access healing practices, mental and physical well-being support, and culturally rooted health education. We integrate movement, meditation, and land-based healing to restore balance in our lives and communities.

Food Justice

Access to nourishing, culturally relevant food is a fundamental right. We work to strengthen local food systems, support Black and Indigenous farmers, and educate communities on sustainable growing practices. Through food sovereignty initiatives, we empower individuals to take control of their nutrition and health, fostering a deeper connection between land and well-being.

Community Preparedness

In times of crisis, strong communities are the foundation of resilience. We are committed to disaster preparedness and recovery efforts that center equity, ensuring that historically marginalized communities have the tools and support to withstand and recover from challenges. Our work includes training, resource distribution, and policy advocacy to build long-term community strength.
