I am the founder of the Institute of African Knowledge (I.A.K.), a dynamic and itinerant platform dedicated to deepening the understanding of Africa’s histories and contemporary realities through a positive afro-critical lens. Guided by the "duty of memory," I.C.A. combines academic methodologies and knowledge with traditional knowledge, the wisdom of elders, and community-recognized expertise, thereby contributing to the preservation and transformation of African knowledge. By bridging scientific research with lived experience, I.C.A. provides specialized training in project management, governance, and advocacy.
