Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of Ghana meaning “to retrieve” or “go back and get“.

It also refers to the Bono Adinkra symbol that is either represented as a stylised heart shape, or a bird with its head turned backwards while its feet face forward carrying a precious egg in its mouth.

Sankofa is often associated with the proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” which translates as: “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.”

The sankofa bird itself can be found in traditional Akan art, and has also been adopted as an important symbol in Black and African Diaspora communities to represent the need to reflect on the past to build a successful future.
