As we say Learn From The Past To Create The Future…

At Sankofa Club, we know that you want your children to succeed; this is the dream of all parents for their children. You need your children to be proud and confident of who they are because research shows that children who grow up knowing their history and culture tend to do better in schools, their profession, and lives.

Systemic racism is EVERYWHERE

The problem is that you live in a world upholding systemic racism, which makes you feel hopeless as a parent and not in control of your children’s future. The educational system, the news, social media, movies, and music are constantly bombarding our children with negative images of themselves. This does a disservice to our children.

A safe Black space to excel your children’s confidence

We believe your children deserve to be inspired by the achievements of their ancestors. This gives children permission to dream bigger, expect more from themselves, and see what is possible for themselves. When they discover facts like mathematics was brought to the world by Black people, it inspires them. It lets them know they can excel in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and more.

We understand because we were miseducated about our history too and didn’t understand the significance of it on our children’s confidence which is why we re-educated ourselves and created the Sankofa ‘Black History; Club for children.

WHAT OTHER PARENTS HAD TO SAY

“We will be ordering more"

My sons just keep reading them over and over again. We read them together as I explained the importance of the cards and why I purchased them. We will be ordering more in a few days. Thanks sooo much!

“Awesome"

All I can say is ‘Awesome’ – these cards have helped put names to faces and vice versa to those prolific figures in our history whose stories seldom get told. My daughter came home from school one day excited, she lit up as she spoke about being able to put her hand up during a black history talk and educate her class and teacher – ALL due to what she read on these flashcards.

She has served in various capacities in the public education arena including formerly serving as an Elementary Educator, Title I Reading Instructor, Parent Involvement Coordinator, Instructional Resource Teacher for Cultural Relevance, Assistant Director of Equity and Family Involvement and the nation’s first Director of African American Student Achievement with the Madison Metropolitan School District in Madison, Wisconsin. She was also formerly co-director, for twelve years, along with her husband Arlington, of the African American Ethnic Academy, an academic and cultural enrichment program that convened on Saturday mornings. As a product of the research, she did while serving as co-director at the African American Ethnic Academy she was propelled by her own three sons and countless other Black children across the country and devoted her life's work to researching and utilizing best practices and models around Culturally Responsive Practices that speak to the unique identities and world views of these children.

Reflecting on her own educational experiences as a child and those she has had as a classroom teacher and mother, she has held deep in her heart the people, purposes, and passions that shaped and have had a profound effect on the educational leader she is today. Many of these experiences remain in her institutional memory and call her to create and share this work through creating the Black History Education Conference, publishing books, writing/creating a curriculum, and engaging in speaking opportunities across the nation. Included in her repertoire of tools and resources that she has created is a professional development model called Cultural Practices that are Relevant (CPR) that supports and strengthens Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Teaching.

In that role, she leads this work along with a team of colleagues, training practitioners across the state of Wisconsin and nationally from a model she co-created called the Model to Inform Culturally Responsive Practices that focuses on what it means to be culturally responsive starting with self and moving that work across an entire equitable multi-level system of support.

I strongly believe in Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence and my book, Igniting & Inspiring Life-Long Learners discusses this theory and how it needs to be more prevalent in our education system. My purpose has led me to become an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur, and learning how to dream and accomplish more than I could imagine. This is what I believe, creativity and guidance do for all of us and that is my goal to share that with all that will listen.

WHO AM I?

Hello, my name is Freddie Taylor. I am the CEO and Founder of Urban Intellectuals; we make it fun and easy to learn Black history. You may have seen our Black History Flashcards, which we've sold over 350,000 units all over the world. We are behind the Sankofa Black History Club for children and are very proud.

As a seasoned adult born in the mid-1970s, it was very saddening for me to realize the schools are still telling the same lies and half-truths to my children as they told me growing up. In fact, I couldn't believe it.

Our first son was born in 1999, and our second in 2003 to my wife and me. We quickly realized we had to take our children's cultural and historical education into our own hands. It was definitely worth the effort, and I wish we had done more.

In fact, you're benefiting from our mistakes. Much of what you see inside the Sankofa Club is what I wish we would have had for our children when they were younger.

This is a program full of passion for making the world a better place by inspiring your children and people all around the world.

OUR GUARANTEE

Within your first 30 days if you decide the club is not working for your child, you can ask for a full refund, no questions asked.
