It took my leaving teaching in a university psychology department, eleven years after I had walked into a university as a young lecturer, to arrive at this simple insight: to understand yourself as a(n) (Africa-centring) psychologist, you are compelled to work yourself towards a position where Africa is bred-in-the-bone. It can take time, in the face of received hegemonic psychology. Perhaps I am a slow learner. In total I had had the experience of nearly two decades within universities before I arrived at the full consciousness of what it means to do African-centred psychology. What it means for me to unselfconsciously situate my practice as an African at the centre of global psychology.
