Here, journal entries chronicle my journey through archives, festivals, sacred spaces, digital labs, and community conversations, moments of deep listening and cultural immersion that have shaped both my scholarship and my lived experiences. The blog provides a space for reflection and expression, where field notes intersect with personal memory.  Theory intertwines with art, technology, and everyday life.

At the heart of this platform is a commitment to cutting-edge interdisciplinary academic inquiry, grounded in African feminist thought, cultural studies, digital humanities, and postcolonial theory.  From oral traditions to digital archives, and from community-based storytelling to critical tech engagement, the work featured here explores the intersection of heritage, identity, and innovation.  With a keen focus on women as creators, custodians, and catalysts, this space challenges dominant narratives and opens space for new knowledge systems to emerge.

The Interviews section, African Drivers of Change, features the voices of women and men, artists, scholars, archivists, technologists, and community builders, who are shaping new paths across the continent and the diaspora. These in-depth conversations highlight radical imagination, cultural resilience, and collaborative leadership in motion.

Under the storytelling series “Under the Baobab Tree,” you’ll find intergenerational dialogues, ancestral wisdom, and grounded reflections, an homage to the traditional African space of communal learning, knowledge sharing, and spiritual anchoring.  Here, the past and future sit side by side, in conversation.
