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.

Culture as Currency: The Soul of Black Entrepreneurship
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Black entrepreneurship isn’t just business—it’s identity, culture, survival, and innovation rolled into one. In this episode, we unpack what truly sets Black business owners apart: the nontraditional pathways we take to get started, the way we braid our heritage into our brands, and the community expectations that shape how we move. We also get honest about the pitfalls on both sides—what Black entrepreneurs struggle with behind the scenes, and what Black consumers get wrong when supporting (or not supporting) our own.
This is a raw, grounded conversation about the realities, responsibilities, and resilience that define Black enterprise today.
Every conversation is a step toward collective liberation.
