My name appears somewhere in this article in this Canadian magazine, where I am described as a "Blogger and African historian" when quoting something I had written. I don't know when I achieved this credential conferred on me by this author.
However, although I'm hardly a scholar, if an "African historian" is one who focuses on removing Eurocentric biases and challenging colonial narratives that portrayed Africa as having no history before European arrival, then maybe I have inadvertently earned myself this designation.
