Abstract

This chapter is a conversation between two female diasporic Africans, one who grew up in continental Africa and the other in Haiti. Both authors emigrated to settler country, Canada, where they live and study, and have collaborated on this work. In the dialogue, they reflect on their experiences as racialized, colonized women and their consciousness of African philosophies and practices that have remained constant in their lives, to demonstrate the survival of African traditions rooted in Africa’s ancient civilization. Their analyses also focus on issues pertaining to the impact of colonialism on education and how a post-graduate course in Afrocentric leadership, which is taught by a Kenyan-born professor, has transformed their self-perception as leaders in education. Their work implicitly and explicitly demonstrates how integrating Indigenous knowledge into curricula and pedagogic/andragogic practices can motivate, transform, and liberate learners and construct a positive perception of the institution.
