My Afrocentric Confessions

I am a journalist, capturing the stories and experiences of Africans. Journalism, anthropology, Africa, these passions keep me alive. Afrocentric Confessions is a space for me to share some of what I find interesting: musings on spirituality, politics, culture, art, activism, social trends and history. And, some of my observations and rantings on where I’ve been and where I am and where I’m going. I like receiving email. chika.oduah@gmail.com
