For those new to Idol (and those who may not remember) for prompts there are some weeks where the the prompt is literally just an interesting word I came across.

This is one of those weeks. Sometimes I will supply you with the definition, sometimes I won't. This time, I will.

Your jumping off point of inspiration this week is

Sankofa

(definition per https://www.berea.edu/centers/carter-g-woodson-center-for-interracial-education/the-power-of-sankofa)

"Sankofa is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana. The literal translation of the word and the symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.”"

The deadline to link your entry back to this post is Sunday July 14th at Noon ET.

Have fun!

I'm bummed to do this so early, but COVID has kicked me in the head, and I'm just not powering through it well. So...bye week for me.

It took four different attempts but I finally landed on the right entry:

Despite my many ties to Ghana and potentially poignant story ideas from visits to the former slave camps (someone left a bouquet of flowers with a card reading "to the mothers of the new world" in the former female slave holding cell of Cape Coast Castle how poignant is that? (AND Cape Castle is a key setting in the movie titled Sankofa!)) I don't think it's my story to tell.

So instead here's my story.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and take a bye. I got too wrapped up in writing my memoir this morning and ended up with a free ticket to a comedy show tonight thanks to the workshop I'm doing, so I don't think I have the time or energy to knock something out before the deadline.
