2025 Sankofa Mixer & Pop-Up Marketplace

We are excited to announce this year’s GRABB Sankofa MIxer & Business Marketplace!

Sankofa means “one must return to the past in order to move forward.” Thus the Akan belief that the past serves as a guide for planning the future. To the Akan it is this wisdom in learning from the past which ensures a strong future.

Our Sankofa MIxer & Business Marketplace celebrates existing and emerging Black entrepreneurs in West Michigan. From artisan candles and soap, to fresh baked goods and handmade ware.

Shop our Business Marketplace and support your neighborhood business economy in Grand Rapids!

Attendees will also have the opportunity learn about GRABB’s Past (What we have done), Present (What we are currently doing) and Future (What we have in the works).
