What this episode covers
Happy 2023! This first episode of 2023 celebrates in a "sankofa" spirit. Sankofa is a word of the Akan people of Ghana, meaning "to go back and get it" in the Twi language. The retrieval concept is symbolized by interlocking hearts or a bird with her feet facing forward but her head turned backward and carrying an egg in her beak. Today's episode will look back on 2022. Lisa will share a few revelations that will shape how she approaches 2023.
