Sankofa Afrikan Gifts was borne out of the necessity as a young mother to be able to provide my daughters Alyson and Samantha with toys and books that reflected their beautiful Afrikan culture. Many of our common stores still today do not provide culturally relevant material for children of Afrikan ancestry to be proud of their rich Afrikan culture. Sankofa Afrikan Gifts knows how important it is for children of Afrikan ancestry to see themselves in toys such as Barbie Dolls, Baby Dolls, Teen Dolls, puzzles, etc. and to be able to read fictional books where the characters or heroines/heroes represent their Afrikan heritage. This allows children to dream of someday becoming someone great.
