AFSANI: Asomdwee Fie, Shrine of the Abosom and Nsamanfo, International.

Nana Akua Kyerewaa Opokuwaa, is featured as the Guest Cultural Resource Commentator for the African American Lectionary

Welcome to the AFSANI site of enlightenment and healing. This project is designed to impart information regarding the practice of the Akan Akom Tradition in America. We will also explore other aspects of an ancient culture which is indigenous to Ghana, West Africa and is practiced in other parts of West Africa and the Congo.

We are Africans born in the Diaspora who have willingly and excitedly chosen to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors. We know that our ancestors were brought to the Americas and Caribbean from the West Coast of Africa. We have visited the dungeons in Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast and witnessed the inhumane holding conditions of our royal ancestors who were captured and enslaved. Nevertheless, they were able to reach these shores. Thus we, the members of AFSANI, are here honoring them by following the cultural and spiritual traditions as we are taught from the various Palaces and Shrines in Ghana.

We invite you to explore with us the many possibilities and probabilities inherent in your participation in Sankofa, which mean...Learning from the past or "It is not a taboo to go back and fetch what you forgot." Most of all, as people of African descent, enjoy the healing experience that is brought to you as you learn the wholistic aspects of your being by connecting back to your heritage.
