Our logo

Our logo, by Jonathan Olivares Design, is a representation of The Sankofa Bird. According to the School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University, "the word "Sankofa" can be translated to mean, "go back to the past and bring forward that which is useful." The bird is rendered as twisting its beak behind itself, in order to bring forth an egg from its back. We honor those who have shown us the way and taught us the strategies for survival, endurance and growth."
