I’m not going to promise this will be the last change I make for my real estate business when it comes to logos, but in this moment it truly represents who I am and what I hope for the future. I thought about a dragon, a 20 sided di but a Sankofa bird seemed to just feel right. I definitely copied and pasted the following meaning from Google because it explains it better than I do.
“Sankofa is a word in the Akan language of Ghana that translates to “go back and get it”. It is rooted in the proverb “Se wo were fi na wosan kofa a yenkyiri,” which means, “It is not taboo to go back for what you forgot.”
The Meaning
Looking back to move forward: It represents the philosophy that we must understand, reflect upon, and draw wisdom from our past in order to build a successful future. Reclamation: It emphasizes the importance of reclaiming lost or forgotten pieces of history, tradition, and knowledge to inform our present actions.”
As some of you know and many others don’t, I have been through so many things throughout my lifetime— Good and Bad. I’ve learned to count every experience as a blessing because every single one of them taught me something and brought me to where I am right now. I’m still learning every day.
I’ve also recently felt like myself again. Which, is maybe a weird thing to say. I was always the weird kid- punk rock, skateboarding, guitar playing, ballerina that just didn’t really fit in anywhere. And in real estate for a long time at first I felt like I had to be someone more polished, more proper, more suit and tie. About a year ago, I decided that I needed to go back and find the me that I had lost through marriage, through children through relationships and friendships. So I did and I’m slowing reclaiming the person I was always meant to be.
So if you just want a nerdy, punk, that loves art and music and table tops games (obviously) and having fun kinda real estate rockstar, feel free to message me. Let’s take you on your next adventure and find what’s always been meant to be yours.
