Join us on March 4th for an enriching session of Jamii's Book Club, facilitated by Glodeane Brown. This month, we're discussing "Sankofa" by Chibundu Onuzo, a compelling narrative that intertwines themes of identity, heritage, and personal growth.
"Sankofa" follows Anna, a middle-aged British woman of mixed race, who embarks on a transformative journey to uncover her father's identity. Her quest leads her to a small West African nation, where she confronts complex truths about her heritage and herself. This exploration resonates deeply with lead artist Sharon Zarita Adhiambo’s theme "Grounded" as we reflect on the anchors in our lives that sustain us through various phases.
Our discussion will blend structured insights with open, informal conversations, creating a welcoming environment for participants aged 16 and above, regardless of their prior experience with book clubs.
