I recently wrote a report for de Volkskrant about Africa's first afrocentric school, run by Dr Utheri Kanayo (aka Susan Kiragu) and her husband Ọkụ in Nakuru, Kenya. Children learn to be proud of their 'African' identity, origin and background.
I have seen this 'new African consciousness' and the 'decolonization of the mind' more often in recent years. That prompted a conversation with Sheila Sitalsing, for Volkskrant podcast Elke Dag - you can listen to that episode by clicking on the link below.
