“Often when we are speaking about decolonising, we are talking about decolonising western institutions.  We seldom talk about what decolonising looks like from the Africana practitioner’s perspective.  Decolonising then becomes yet another situation in which Black people are working for white institutions, usually for free.  Dedicating and donating our time and efforts to make the institutions more viable, more sustainable and let’s be honest, more marketable.”
