A SANKOFA LIFE
The Sankofa is a Ghanaian symbol of a bird with an egg in its mouth looking back over its shoulder. African-Americans refer to it as they honor the struggles of their people while going forward in determination and hope. What does it mean to remember where we came from, both as individuals and as communities? What do we want to use from the past to make our best future? What do we want to leave behind (but still recall as lessons learned?)

Catherine Vance has been a member of BAUUC for 4 years. She is an aspirant to UU ministry and chaplaincy and is in seminary at Iliff School of Theology in Denver.
