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.

Raising the Next Generation: Culture, Identity, and Black Fatherhood

Here’s a YouTube-ready description that’s real, grounded, and doesn’t fluff it up:
What does it actually look like to pass culture on to your kids in America?
In this episode of Sankofa Sessions, hosts Kofi Annan and Kofi Adih sit down with their sons for a rare, honest conversation about identity, heritage, and the responsibility of raising culturally grounded Black children in a society that often pushes assimilation over remembrance.
Both hosts come from mixed-heritage households—Caribbean, African, and African American—and they don’t just talk about culture, they talk with the next generation. From language and food to values, traditions, and the moments where culture gets tested, this episode explores what sticks, what gets lost, and what has to be taught on purpose.
This isn’t a polished “parenting tips” episode. It’s a real family conversation about:
- How kids experience culture differently than their parents
- What traditions matter—and why
- The tension between fitting in and staying rooted
- What the next generation actually remembers (and what they don’t)
If you’re raising kids, thinking about legacy, or wondering how culture survives beyond one generation, this conversation is for you.
Culture doesn’t pass itself on. Someone has to choose it.
Every conversation is a step toward collective liberation.
