What is Sankofa?
Sankofa is a decolonial approach to past, present, and future that centers culturally-centered knowing. We hold Sankofa as our foundation and our aspiration both, seeking always to unite our community with its ancestral heritage.
Why We Need CBIP

Founder Adeeba Deterville, Ph.D.
DDEI and all of CIIS honors the work of Dr. Deterville, founder of both the Black Psychology Project and CBIP. Her groundbreaking research on Sankofa Praxis provided the imaginal space necessary to envision the Center, and her guiding strength brought it into being.
