Sankofa Wellness Project Unveils Barbados' African Roots | Barbados News

Rufiena Jones, a California visitor turned cultural trailblazer, launched the Sankofa Wellness Project in 2022 after a transformative trip to Barbados revealed the island’s profound ties to African heritage. What began as a vacation became a mission to show people of African descent that Barbados isn’t just a tropical getaway—it’s a vital chapter in the diaspora story. Through immersive tours, historical exploration, and community engagement, Jones highlights how Barbados’ culture, music, and movement echo the resilience of enslaved Africans. Her upcoming rebrand to Sankofa Heritage Travel aims to expand this journey across the Caribbean, West Africa, and the U.S. South, weaving together a unified narrative of African identity and survival.
