The Theological/Africana context for AHAA is Shalom. “Shalom is more than the absence of violence or war; it is also interpreted to include peace, (Numbers 6:26) wellness (Genesis 29:6), at ease (Genesis 43:23), health (Psalm 38:3).  This Shalom allows hope to flourish and brings healing and wholeness.”[1] Although grounded in Shalom, the practice of telling the story of the ancestors and including them in worship and ritual in a critical to Africana wellness.The traditional culture of Africans in the diaspora has been suppressed, if not destroyed; thus, if we are to name the ancestors as mandated by Scripture, we must also embrace the philosophy of Sankofa.​
