About Sankofa House Savannah
Sankofa House Savannah is a safe and sacred haven created with intentions to restore, revive and resurrect the community back to the vibrations of health, wellness & wholeness of mind, body & spirit. There has long been a need for an alternative help in our community starting with LOVE of Self and love for each other. It is only through love that we can truly heal on all levels. With Love we can then build in TRUTH by knowing who we are and standing in that truth together because we NEED each other now more than ever.
Many are called to Sankofa out of Spirit, for services, products, events or plan ole' curiosity (and even that has the sound CURE in it). No matter what attracts someone to Sankofa everyone will always be received with open arms to be provided with what is needed and we guarantee that it will never be what you expect that it will be. It is definitely a deeper level of experience. Sankofa House is often referred to as Home, a Retreat Space, the Temple, The Mothership, or The Unplug from the Matrix.
We're truly honored to serve as a beacon of Light for our community and we're so very grateful for the continued love and support!
Kamilah KaMaat: The Complete Soul of Truth
Kamilah KaMaat, born Cheyanne Williams and raised in Guyton, Georgia, is the founder and Chieftess Priestess Oracle of the Sankofa House Savannah. Nicknamed “The Lighthouse” for its mission in helping people reconnect with their true selves and transmute pain into purpose, the Sankofa House Savannah has welcomed visitors from around the world since its opening in 2017 to experience Kamilah’s spiritual offerings.
A Gullah Geechee spiritual medium, Kamilah channels ancestral messages to guide truth-seekers through life’s challenges with clarity and familial wisdom. In addition to her work as a medium, she is a Kemetic Reiki practitioner and an Intuitive Birth Doula. Her gifts of claircognizance and energy healing through "laying hands" are not new; they have been with her since childhood, nurtured in the environment of the Holiness Church where she grew up.
Embodying the meaning of her name, “Complete Soul of Truth,” Kamilah shares her story of childhood abuse and molestation to break the stigma surrounding trauma and remind others to reclaim their power and embrace their truth without shame. At 13 years old, she promised to dedicate her life to God’s Word in exchange for being saved from the abuse. Her prayers were answered. In 2013, Kamilah received a profound message from God: "You can pray for yourself. This is all a program," followed by the command to "Go it alone."
Her Bible studies and prayers moved from the confines of the church to a deeply personal, solitary practice. During this time, she also began exploring her identity as a Black woman, delving into overlooked and misrepresented African history. As Kamilah shared her "aha" moments from her studies on Facebook, her insights sparked interest, leading to study groups. As Kamilah learned about the West African Orishas and felt a personal connection to Oshun—the river goddess of purity, love, and sensuality—she shifted from a rigid religious framework to a more fluid and expansive spiritual practice.
The village multiplied. What began as occasional meet-ups with a few high school friends blossomed into monthly gatherings, drawing dozens of women from across the country—and even from the Motherland. These Soul Sister Sundays have become a sanctuary where women come together to reconnect with and reclaim their innate, God-given power. Sankofa House Savannah is not only for sisters, however. All walks of life are welcome, regardless of sex, race, or religion.
“The Sankofa House is an ancient ancestrally orchestrated mission to reconnect whole families and bring the entire community together as a whole mind, whole heart, and whole vessel.” —Kamilah KaMaat
As Sankofa House Savannah continues to grow, branching out and deepening its roots, Kamilah has become a Pillar of the Mother’s Army Ministry (M.A.M.), founded in 2022. This ministry unites a devoted group of women—referred to as “ministers”—who step into leadership roles, sharing their healing gifts with the community. Through their collective effort, Sankofa House Savannah is able to expand its impact and further its mission by uplifting even more truth-seekers.
Beyond her calling at Sankofa House, Kamilah finds joy in expressing herself through writing, music, art, and fashion, as well as mothering her yellow python, Freedom, who symbolizes transformation and liberation. She is an avid traveler, continuously exploring new cultures and spiritual landscapes to deepen her practice. She recently earned her certification as a Culinary Artist of SunFired Ra Cuisine in Panama with Dr. Aris Latham to further honor the earth’s abundance and connect with life’s natural rhythms. These passions bring balance and renewal to her spirit, enriching both her personal journey and her ability to serve others.
