Testimonials

Shawnte M. Westwood

Through the genealogy program, I traced my family back six generations. I finally understood the meaning behind my last name and the trauma we carried. S.A.A.F. didn’t just show me where I came from, they helped me reclaim it with pride

Amina and Kofi B. Cincinnati, Oh

I brought my son to a rites of passage circle thinking it’d just be another workshop. But something shifted. We both cried. We both healed. We now talk to my father more, ask questions, and document stories. S.A.A.F. gave us the tools to rebuild our family.

Tanisha W. Cincinnati, OH

"Before S.A.A.F., caregiving felt like just a job. Now, I know it’s a calling. I’ve learned how to honor our elders, preserve their stories, and even help my own children understand where we come from.

Jalil K. Cincinnati, Oh

I used to feel lost between two worlds. But learning traditional African spiritual practices gave me grounding. Through S.A.A.F., I now have a spiritual home rooted in love, music, and ritual. I finally feel whole.

Momma Joy Nasty Nati

I’ve worked in community service for decades, but S.A.A.F. is different. It weaves together the sacred, the practical, and the political. We don't just teach—we transform. Our elders guide us, our children uplift us, and our programs unify us.

Brother Elijah Columbus, Oh

The first time I walked with these young kings through the rites, I saw myself. We don’t just mentor, we prepare warriors, healers, and leaders. S.A.A.F. is not just saving families; it’s saving futures.
