Introduction to Our Sankofa Village, Part 1: How We Got Here — And Where We Go Together

How did Mindset Reset UBUNTU and Our Sankofa Village begin?

In Episode #001, Gregory Norris shares the journey that led from a search for better ways to connect Black communities with information and opportunity to a larger realization: our communities also need spaces where we can tell our own stories, examine our experiences, preserve what we know, and help shape where we go next.

Through conversations about the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), workforce development, community knowledge, the Black Census, and more, Gregory introduces the questions that helped give rise to Mindset Reset UBUNTU — Through a Black Lens and Our Sankofa Village.

This is Part 1 of a two-part introduction. Part 1 tells the story of how we got here. In Part 2, we enter the Village together and explore what Mindset Reset, UBUNTU, Sankofa, Through a Black Lens, and Reset • Reclaim • Rise mean—and how you can become part of the conversation.

Real Conversations. Lasting Change.

Reset. Reclaim. Rise.
