Our History
Sankofa Family Ventures was born out of a conversation between Paul Williams and Debon Lewis, but it was the events of 2020 that made the need for our organization more apparent and urgent. With the death of George Floyd and the ongoing effects of oppressive policies, we knew we needed to take action. Paul Williams rallied his network of talented and diverse individuals to create Sankofa Family Ventures. We officially incorporated our organization in February 2021, and we made our first investment in June 2021.
