Sustainable Sankofa is the professional affinity group of Black and Brown Creative Leaders and Culturalists. This professional space is designed to promote connection, collaboration, and the building of community among Black and Brown people. Often there isn't enough safe space to share practices and identify support, tools, and resources for leaders who feel siloed in their work. We advocate for personal voice and mobilize the empowered through mentorship, supported succession planning, and the development and sharing of best practices to ensure that through interdependence, we all thrive.

Historically, we often turn around "too late" to grab both the gems and the generations behind us. Innovations in technology, culture and politics prove that we can no longer afford to do this. Those who are emerging as leaders in mid-career need the support and guidance of veteran leaders while being invited to share skills, tools, and practices with which they themselves have found success. To this point, emerging leaders need sustainable resources, finances, tools, support and community to effectively mentor the young adults who will soon succeed them. The needs of our current and next generations are rapidly evolving. Sankofa will be a lost art if we don't turn around with necessary urgency. Of those with a mentor, 97% say they are valuable. Yet only 37% of professionals have a mentor. 89% of those who have been mentored will also go on to mentor others. (Source: McCarthy Mentoring)
