Juneteenth Children's Reading Hour with Abena Sankofa

Abena Sankofa Imhotep is an award-winning author, scholar, and activist whose work celebrates Africana, challenges historical narratives, and advocates for a just world.
As the CEO of Sankofa Literary & Empowerment Group, Abena’s mission is two-fold: to create spaces for lifelong learning that center the literature and scholarship of Black authors and to work toward a world where all children love to read.
Leading conversations on human rights, racial equity, and organizational awareness for various institutions, Abena has presented human rights papers on social impact & responsibility and strategies for achieving racial justice at the Nelson Institute Global Citizen Forum, the Iowa Human Rights Research Conference, and University of Notre Dame Kroc Institute.

Personal Mission:
At the heart of my mission is a dedication to literacy. I believe that access to education and the ability to articulate one's experiences are fundamental rights that must be safeguarded. By encouraging a love for reading and writing, we can empower others to use their voices and meet the moment.
