Stories From Our Community
Akoma Community Wellness is building a village for healing, learning, and cultural connection. Rooted in the African principles of Akoma and Sankofa, we bring people together through arts, storytelling, and shared traditions to create deep social bonds. Inspired by the Highlander Center and the African American Craft Alliance (AACA), our folk school approach empowers communities through Popular Education and people power. We believe wellness is more than self-care—it’s collective care. Join us in creating spaces where history informs the future, creativity drives change, and communities thrive together.
