About

ANKH

ANKH IS ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic ideograph meaning | Life.

In the context of this project, it’s the story about Civil Rights on a Human Scale as told through the eyes of two friends, Shelly Traction” Jones and Scott “Splinter” Owens, with the philosophy that it takes one person to make a change and two to start a revolution.

STORY

Ankh is the story of Traction and Splinter, two friends who see the world very differently. Traction believes there’s a future, while Splinter dwells on what was.

It’s based on the lessons learned by Tom Libertiny’s multi-year listening tour and inspired by Rachel Andresen.
