Meet the Curators
We’re Michael and Ashley, partners in life and now in purpose. Together, we’ve traveled the world, and through those experiences, we discovered the power of travel is not just to inspire, but to transform. That’s what led us to create Sankofa Escapes—a soulful travel company built on love, heritage, and the desire to reconnect others with culture and self.
Co-Founder / Guest Experience Curator
Ashley brings warmth, elegance, and intention to every Sankofa Escapes journey. With a gift for thoughtful details and soul-soothing design, she curates experiences that feel both effortless and unforgettable.
Her first trip to Ghana left a lasting mark-one of deep peace, pride, and connection. Now, she hopes every guest feels what she did: a homecoming that stirs the spirit.
With Ashley, travel becomes more than movement—it becomes meaning.
Ashley
Co-Founder / Experience Architect
Born in Ghana and partly raised in the U.S., Michael carries both worlds in his heart-and it shows in every journey he curates. With a deep love for his roots and a gift for storytelling, he builds experiences that connect people not just to places, but to purpose.
For Michael, this isn't just travel-it's legacy work.
Every itinerary is a bridge: between the diaspora and the homeland, between culture and comfort, between who we are and where we come from.
Through Sankofa Escapes, he invites you to experience Ghana as he sees it: rich, soulful, vibrant, and full of life-changing moments.
With Michael, you won't just visit Ghana.
You'll walk into belonging.
