Sankofa Journey offers a number of services including our 4-phase series, 3 and 4 week topical discussions, book club, trip to Birmingham, and our resource list.

| Phase 1: What? | 2 hours | What do I believe about race and ethnicity? Where do these ideas come from? What can I do with these thoughts? |
| Phase 2: Now What? | 1.5 hours | We continue the journey of discovering our thoughts on race and ethnicity and how we can impact our community. |
| Phase 3: So What? | 2 hours (2 1-hour sessions) | We listen to other’s stories and find ways to understand their worldview and evaluate ours. Participants are expected to not just listen to our panel, but also follow-up with a small group discussion to process what we’ve heard. |
| Phase 4: Back to What! | 1.5 hours | We begin thinking about how we can facilitate discussions like these. How do we bring about change with people who might have a very different opinion of race? How do we allow them to feel safe enough to trust us? |
