Sankofa Sessions with Kofi and Kofi

Sankofa Sessions with Kofi & Kofi brings together two HBCU grads, U.S. Army veterans, and visionary entrepreneurs shaping the global Black experience.

Kofi Annan, born in Guyana and raised in the U.S., is a civil rights leader, author, and social impact entrepreneur known for his fearless advocacy and bridge-building work. Kofi Adih, born in the U.S. to a Ghanaian father and American mother, is a real estate investor and community leader focused on empowering neighborhoods through ownership and opportunity.

Together, they deliver unapologetic conversations that blend intellect, humor, and heart—unpacking identity, power, purpose, and progress from Petersburg to Accra. Grounded in the spirit of Sankofa—“go back and fetch it”—they explore how knowing our past fuels the future we’re building.
