About | Susa Africa

Susa Africa: Telling of Africa’s story via new media is important in shaping the perception of the continent. Developed countries have understood the significance of the media in promoting social policies, political philosophies, religious ideas, and economic policies, in the development of the nation state.

At Susa Africa, we are providing Africans a tool with an opportunity to counter negative stereotypes by giving them a homegrown platform, creating multiple stories about the continent, introducing multiple and complex images about the continent and its people. Similarly, the Susa Africa will broaden awareness of the region and its 54 nations by combining opinion research as well as analysis of news and social media conversations through reports and transformational ideas basically focusing on Africa.

Susa Africa is playing a major role in documenting multiple perspectives and narratives about the African continent. Through our stories, our authentic African stories became the African Narrative. We are rewriting African narrative and giving voice to a new way for Africans and the world to think about our dear continent “Africa”. Founded in 2019, as a publication of Sankofa Media.

“Why ‘Sankofa’ Represents Our Journey: A Deep Dive into Our Brand Name”
We adopted Sankofa, as our enterprise is informational and technologically driven situated in West Africa.
The meaning of Sankofa and its wisdom: Sankofa is a word and a symbol from the Akan people of Ghana, West Africa. In Akan language, the African proverb expressing the concept is expressed as, “so wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenki,” which translates in the English language to, “it is not taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot.” It is composed of two parts: “san” (meaning “to return”) and “kofa” (meaning “to go”). Together, Sankofa represents the idea of “returning to go forward” or “learning from the past to move forward.”
 
The symbol is usually a bird with its head turned backwards carrying an egg in its mouth. It represents the idea that learning from the past can help us to achieve positive progress in the present and future.
The visual representation of Sankofa conveys a profound message. The backward-facing head of the bird signifies the importance of reflecting on one’s past experiences, culture, and history. The egg held in its mouth represents the potential of the future and the opportunities that arise when one understands and appreciates their roots. It reminds us that our heritage and collective wisdom can guide us toward a better future.
