Hello everyone. I am an independent black African researcher based in the UK working on a project to create an encyclopaedia focused exclusively on the cultural, artistic, and social systems of African ethnic groups.

My goal is to move away from political narratives and narratives of pain and suffering and instead focus on indigenous knowledge, customs, and social structures. I am currently trying to research all Ethnic Groups and would love to ensure my entries are respectful and accurate.

Ultimately I want to ensure my entries reflect how the community sees itself, rather than how outsiders have historically categorised it.

I am looking to connect with people who might be willing to help me:

Identify key cultural themes or traditional practices that are often overlooked.

Recommend books, oral history records, or local scholars that the community trusts.

Collaboration?

Review my draft entries for accuracy and tone.

I am happy to share my research framework or a sample entry so you can see my approach. If you have any thoughts or would be open to a brief chat, please reach out. Thank you for your time and guidance.

I am a Virgo rising and they typically have Virgo moons… how do they perceive me?
