Sankofa: A Culinary Story of Resilience and Belonging

What if home was a place you’ve never been? For Kofi, a first-generation Ghanaian American boy, home is a country called Ghana. But it’s a place he’s never been. When tasked to bring a dish that best represents his family’s culture to school for a potluck lunch, Kofi is torn. With the help of his Nanabarima (grandfather), Kofi learns the hardship and resilience his family has endured - and how food has always been an integral part their story and culture. Sankofa is a reminder that food can transport you to a place called home - even if you’ve never been.
