LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER & CEO

As an immigrant and first-generation student who faced significant challenges during my time in college, including mental health and financial hardships, I understand firsthand the obstacles that can hinder academic success. While these setbacks led me to leave school multiple times, I always came back to education, knowing it was my ticket to a better future. I continued to persevere and went on to hold prominent roles at leading tech firms, managed global teams, and successfully exited a Salesforce tech consulting company that I founded. My journey, albeit challenging, highlights the resilience and potential within each student, especially when they're supported holistically.

This is where Sankofa Legacy Partners steps in. Inspired by the Sankofa bird, symbolizing the importance of drawing strength from our past to secure our future, we provide whole human mentoring and coaching services. Our mission is to guide students through their academic and personal journeys, focusing on early intervention and supporting them in overcoming barriers. Our approach has proven effective in improving enrollment, retention, and overall student outcomes, benefiting not just the students but also the institutions.

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of education, one thing remains constant: the pursuit of student success. At Sankofa Legacy Partners, we understand that achieving this goal requires a holistic approach—one that goes beyond traditional methods and embraces the interconnectedness of all stakeholders within an educational institution. By partnering with schools and integrating our mentorship and coaching services, we create ecosystems of support where students, administrators, faculty, and staff have access to the resources they need for success. Our approach isn't about replacing existing programs; it's about augmenting them to create a more robust support system for everyone involved. 

With a team of experts and a national network of resources at our disposal, we're able to provide comprehensive support every step of the way, making the process easier for students and schools. If you’re ready to join us on this mission, contact us today to find out how the power of partnership can transform your institution.
