BlackGrad
Sankofa’s BlackGrad is an important event that reinforces the bonds of scholarship and extends the sense of community amongst Calgary’s Black students. It is a safe space for Black Graduates to be seen, celebrated, share their stories, and raise awareness about the unique challenges and experiences in a system that was not designed for them.

Sankofa - “To go back and get it.”
Sankofa is a word from the Twi language of Ghana that translates to “go back and get it” (San - to return; Ko - to go; Fa - to fetch, to seek and take).
It also refers to the Asante Adinkra symbol represented either with a stylized heart shape or by a bird with its head turned backwards white its feet face forward.
