Our Story
Adisa is a West African word meaning “one who sees clearly.” The Sankofa icon is a Ghanaian symbol, a bird turning to retrieve an egg from its back. In a mission-driven organization, the push to shape the future is complex. Seeking clarity, our team views the egg as hatching new ways to perceive challenges and opportunities for individual and collective action. Sankofa tells us to “reach back and get it,” clearing the path to a better world.
