What if the key to thriving in today’s world lies in looking back? Rooted in the Akan concept of Sankofa—“go back and fetch it”—this thought-provoking talk explores how Black history offers practical wisdom for personal growth, resilience, and future success.
From the rise of ancient African kingdoms to the resistance movements of the transatlantic enslavement era, Black history is rich with lessons in perseverance, leadership, and vision. These stories aren’t just powerful—they’re deeply relevant. They show us how communities overcame overwhelming odds to create change, and how we can do the same in our lives today.
In this session, Paul Crooks reimagines history not as a distant past but as a living, breathing resource for empowerment. Through powerful storytelling, he shares insights from historic figures who reshaped their communities by embracing courage, integrity, and purpose. This isn’t about idealising the past—it’s about reclaiming wisdom that can guide you toward a more intentional and inspired future.
You’ll leave with a renewed sense of clarity and strength, ready to face modern challenges with timeless tools. Whether you’re seeking personal transformation, professional clarity, or community impact, this session offers you the opportunity to reconnect with legacy and leadership in ways that matter right now.
